God's Promise

And God said: I am giving you a sign as evidence of my eternal covenant with you and all living creatures. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is a sign of my permanent promise to you and all the earth. Genesis 9:12-13



These images were captured at the beginning of May from a hillside in the Drakensberg overlooking the Kwa Zulu Natal Midlands

    Those are the kind of rainbows that inspire words like majestic and awesome, they truly are both!

    Wonderful rainbow photo - plenty of room to capture all of it. Here we only see peices due to the mountains.

    Stunningly beautiful, Jo! It's been ages since I saw a rainbow. Maybe because we haven't had much rain...? :-)

    Warm greetings from West Africa!
