A weak front was moving across the Sierra and white billowy clouds were already drifting over the peaks as we drove over Tioga Pass.  As we photographed at Olmsted point the cloud level dropped until they washed over us.  The conditions were perfect for some spectacular photography.

It was happening all around us and we spun like tops, not wanting to miss anything.  Because the clouds were moving so quickly now, you had to be fast.  Beautiful images came and went in a matter of seconds.  I was extremely fortunate to catch this image.  There was no second chance; it was gone in less than 5 seconds. 

I'm inspired by its feeling of power and the majesty of nature.
