Louise Lake

— Getting this photo at Mount Rainier NP was fun. We had dark clouds and rainy weather as we were driving that afternoon. However, as we approached a curve on the road on the way back from the Paradise Visitor Center, I noticed that the clouds were about to clear in the next few minutes. We had already driven by this location when it was raining. So, now was the right time to stop and wait a few minutes for the light to shine through as the clouds dissipated. I loved the shadows still covering some of the lake in contrast with the highlights in the mountains in the background. This was taken in July, and there were still sections of the park that had not opened because of the amount of snow on the ground. You can see another photo in a nearby location with the storm dissipating.
