Since I'm a Volunteer at the Superstition Mountain Museum, I get to attend these special events at no cost. All of my photos are then edited and donated to the Museum for their usage.

This event was a fundraiser for the non-profit Museum and featured a Mariachi Band, playing instruments and singing. The day was cloudy and threatening, but rain was not in the forecast (yeah sure). The attendees were eating the prepared meal and snapping shots with their cellphone cameras, as I wandered around shooting the band and the scenery.

During the meal, a rainbow appeared, very light at first but quickly intensifying as it moved above Superstition Mountain in the background.

1) I kept snapping shots and managed to capture the one posted here, with the band still playing and oblivious to what was going on behind them.

2) The second shot was taken as the rainbow was fading and appears to have its base on the ridgeline, just a short distance from where I was standing (no, I wasn't able to locate the pot of gold).

3) The final shot was taken as the rainbow was behind the Wickiups (Apache Village) and above the Mountain in the background.

And then, as a finale, the rains began. Everyone quickly ran for the coverage of the roof-covered patio where the band re-assembled and continued playing.
