Poison Glen Rainbows
Location: Dunlewey, Poison Glen, Gweedore, County Donegal.
The late afternoon sunshine was interrupted by an approaching rain shower coming in of the Atlantic Ocean at the "Poison Glen" giving rise to a dramatic double rainbow. The Glen used to be called “Heavenly Glen” by the locals, as they thought of it as their Heaven on Earth. However a mistake by an English cartographer in the translation of the Irish word for Heaven, (the Irish word for Heaven is neamh and the Irish word for poison is neimhe) which differs slightly from the Irish word for Poison and the name stuck.
Technical Specifications
Canon EOS 5D MKII, Canon EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM Lens at 90mm, 1/4 sec @ f14, ISO 100,
