Lightning under a double rainbow – Watch the video of the spectacular phenomenon

Jason Rinehart practices photography based in Buchanan, Virginia and is passionate about capturing the natural light in storms with his lens. Some time ago he took an impressive photo: a lightning bolt, right in the center, under a double rainbow.

“I live in a very special and unique place to capture Mother Nature at her best, with easy access to many high vantage points that other photographers in other areas don’t have access to, plus I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia” he said, speaking to PetaPixel.

That day he was heading home watching the weather charts and noticed that a storm was headed his way and would break out at sunset. After stopping at his house to get his gear, he moved towards his favorite spot on the mountain range and his predictions were confirmed.

“From the first moment, as the rainbow started to get bigger in the sky, I knew this was going to be something very special. I’ve captured rainbows before on the freeway, but never one as bright and intense as this one. The color was something to behold, it took your breath away, and being a photographer, knowing you’ve captured something so special is an indescribable feeling. I like to think that in these circumstances and moments words are not needed because now the photo tells the story,” he explained. “The next thing that happened was this bolt of lightning falling from the sky, so perfectly framed within this beautiful rainbow that all I could do was smile as soon as I heard my shutter go, knowing that I had captured just that in which I had invested so much time and energy,” he confessed.

“It’s beautiful to be passionate enough about something to share a gift with the world. These are the moments when I can’t help but feel alive,” he admitted.
