Duncan Rawlinson photographed this scene during the Perseid meteor shower of 2020, though the frame captures weather conditions rather than meteors. Two small islands rise from calm water, their pines lit by warm, low-angle sun breaking through storm clouds. A faint rainbow curves across the overcast sky above the solid forms below. The long exposure smooths the lake surface into a reflective plane. Clearing light and lingering cloud create a layered sky, while the islands remain in sharp relief. This is a moment of transition, caught between storm and clearing, with the camera recording the atmospheric conditions of the event.
