Dave, I'll gladly show you our view, we're in Dartmouth, looking across to Kingswear, give me 48 hours notice and I'll arrange a rainbow. By the way, you're own website is very good. Nice pix indeed.  And I certainly didn't mean to be harsh, just gentle ribbing as I felt that a quick look at my own website would show just how many times I have photographed a double rainbow - frequently showing both ends and that to have faked that lot would be, well, daft. 
And also an apology from me to you Dave, your line about how the rainbow had to be a fake as you had never seen one in Dartmouth before. Embarrassingly  the irony had completely eluded me, I though you were being serious. I'm now chuckling at my own foolishness. (you WERE being ironic, weren't you ????)

And to Lonely Jo regarding the D300. I used to be a press photographer back in days of film and then became a Picture Editor. I fell out of love with photography and it was only when we moved to Dartmouth that that has gradually returned. Shooting the view has become a bit of an obsession and the website has only compounded that. It is still only a hobby with very occasional sales to newspapers so I was happy with the D60. But because we get aircraft zooming up the valley passing about 100m in front of our home it became apparent that a better autofocus system was required. Hence the purchase of a 80-400mm Nikon zoom and the D300. Both second hand.

And to BBQQ:  The main point of the website (the view from etc) is to shoot as different pictures as possible from one spot. But I do record one or two uniform shot's most weeks. For instance we have a beautiful oak tree about a mile away that I record and also the general wide view across the river to the village of Kingswear, Some of the skies and light are breathtaking. So, no,  I don't think of it as boring.
