Epic Sunset over the Harbor

The almost full moon was due to come up at 7:20pm tonight. Bit early for a solid moon shot but, as we have plans tomorrow night, figured it was worth a shot (pardon the pun). Got to a local park where they have bands playing for the 4th of July Festival of Arts and tried a few shots that weren't going to see the light of day.

Then, as I made my way to the area overlooking the harbor, I saw some great clouds approaching. Before I knew it, there was a rainbow over the lighthouse. I've never capture one in that spot and raced to switch lenses and add a polarizer.

After the rainbow disappeared, I tracked the clouds reflecting the setting sun's incredible colors. These are two favorites from a number of images taken over the next 20 minutes. You can just make out the full moon to the far right of the cloud.
