This was taken on a visit to the Rockies last Summer. In between bouts of heavy greyness and heavier precipitation the clouds would break and dance around the mountains. On rare occasions Assiniboine herself would peak through to assess her meager audience before turning over and hiding under the blankets again. The rain never actually stopped, but the wind would, making for these very unique conditions. I remember fellow photographer Mark Brodkin working beside me saying to himself, ‘yup, this is pretty special.’
I owe a huge thanks to Ryan Dyar for showing me how to make this image sing. My imagination kept bumping into walls trying to work with this. This one’s for you buddy.
