Moorland north of summit of Cruach an Lochain Cruach an Lochain lies to the east of Loch Fyne; the image was recorded from beside its trig point. Clearly the record was made amid a storm, creating the distant rainbow.
The far-off mountains are beyond the head of Loch Fyne. The rising slope in the middle distance is that of Cruach nan Capull with, surely, the prominent feature of Sidhean Sluaigh apparently at the foot of the rainbow.
