Thank you to Sonya Dyer for sending me this picture taken on Monday 23ed October. After the storms of last night 29/10/00 it's good to see a rainbow really does lead to the warm biome at Eden. Sonya tells me she took it with her Kodak DC215 zoom digital camera when she was on train ride down to the biomes. Most of the pictures on this site are taken by my trusty Olympus C-3030 zoom and processed in the digital darkroom with Paint Shop Pro 7 ......Keith
