Surreal Light After Rain: Photo Of The Day

SANTA MONICA, CA — Sarah Spitz captured this stunning light across Santa Monica after rainfall and thunder last week.

Here's what Spitz told Patch:

It was still raining lightly after the rainbow disappeared last Tuesday when I turned away from the sunset to look behind me. The light was surreal. Later as the sun set, a sudden burst of light illuminated the sage at the top end of Palisades Park.

Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your photo with Patch readers.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution, horizontal images that reflect the beauty and fun that is California, and that show off your unique talents.

Send your photos to nicole.charky@patch.com.
