Morning cloud cover hovers over Stevens Canyon, Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington, USA. I was driving to the eastern part of the national park when I saw this scene developing in the sky. Trouble was I was on a narrow two lane with no shoulders and a very steep drop-off. I prayed for a spot in the road just wide enough to allow me to park my Jeep just off the pavement so I wouldn't be a hazard to anyone else traveling the road at that early morning hour. My prayers were answered. I think the wheels on the passenger side of the Jeep were barely in contact with the ground on this narrow pullout on the shoulder. I managed to fire off several shots as the mist and cloud cover boiled and transformed dramatically before my eyes. Very quickly, the sun broke through and made the scene unmanageable due to the brightness of the sky. Happily, I came away with this shot before that happened.
