B. Rowe Winecoff and I live in Edina Where were you when you took this photo? What does it show? My wife and I were on tour in the Basque region of Spain in the city of Donostia (Basque name)/ San Sebastián (Spanish name). We came out of our hotel as a rain storm was approaching over the bay. What equipment did you use—a phone or a particular camera? I took this photo with an iPhone 7 How did you get this shot? Did you employ any particular technique: did you get low or high to change the angle,

The Traveler: B. Rowe Winecoff of Edina

A rainbow paints the sky above San Sebastian, a resort town in the Basque region of northern Spain. Named Donostia in the Basque language, the town is known for its picturesque beaches edged by a promenade and a cobblestone-lined old town with shops and restaurants. The photographer and his wife had stepped out of their hotel at just the right moment to capture the colorful sky as a rainstorm brewed over the Bay of Biscay. "The Basque region is a fascinating area with a long history of struggle for independence, a culture rich in the arts, unique and flavorful cuisine, and exquisite wines," Winecoff wrote in an e-mail. He shot this photograph with his iPhone 7.
