Svalbard Rainbow
Although the rainbow makes the image in this photograph, I am not all that happy with the fact that the rainbow appeared. Over the past 4 years I have seen the arctic wearther changing drastically. Svalbard used to be one of the dryest places on this planet. But due to climate change it gets more and more rain every year...melting snow and ice, melting the permafrost and releasing lots and lots of greenhouse gasses (which were stored in the arctic tundra for ages). So besides just being beautiful, this rainbow also is a clear warning signal to all of us.
I created this image from about 8 photographs that I stitched together using PanoramaFactory. To emphasize the rainbow I used a polarizer that I had to adjust with every single image in this photograph.
