A rainbow appears in front of  the Paine Mastiff at sunrise in Torres del Paine.

We were driving towards the other side of the Torres del Paine from our hotel on the road next to Lago Nordenskjold.  We stopped to get some sunrise pictures in front of the Paine Mastiff.  The clouds were drifting in and out over the mountains creating interesting interactions with the early morning light.  I looked to my right and a rainbow had appeared next to the glowing orange mountain in front of the lake- a scene one usually only dreams about.  I quickly turned my tripod around and made this image.
