I took this shot on the most challenging day I've ever spent photographing in the outdoors. The clouds really let loose, and it poured all day long. I had trouble keeping the camera dry, and got water inside the monitor screen, damaging it for a week afterwards. But the day was amazing! Like John Muir, I felt like I was being baptized in the storm, washed clean of the stresses and ego-concerns of life in society. On the way back to the campground, I saw a grizzly bear in the distance, but my camera was much too wet by then to be usable. What memories!
