Photograph, story and narration by Mike Ferrara.

Winter had settled across Yellowstone, and heavy clouds promised another storm. Then, without warning, the sky opened for only a few moments. Sunlight poured onto the Lower Falls while the surrounding canyon remained in shadow. A rainbow rose from the mist, disappearing almost as quickly as it appeared. The moment lasted less than a minute, but it transformed an already magnificent landscape into something that felt quietly sacred.
