I captured this image one chilly November morning in SNP at the Spitler Knoll overlook. The sky was completely cloud covered at daybreak but as the morning wore on it began to clear from west to east. As the scattered rays of sunlight broke through they painted the mountains and valleys with beautiful patterns of sun and shadow.
As with all transient light the beautiful light show ended nearly as quickly as it had begun as the last of the storm clouds rolled away allowing the sun to evenly light the area.

ReplyDeleteIt's a good feeling to see a sky of clouds breaking up, and watching the light and blue come in behind. I had a similar experience on a hike down the Grand Canyon, and yes, it changed our plan of attack on how much of the canyon we could do. It gave us that extra boost.
ReplyDeleteThe layers of color are beautiful...what a lovely location to take a sky photo at.
