Juice Box

Just returned from a wickedly cool week of remotish Wyoming back country, with a quick day at Jenny Lake and Killpecker Dunes to boot. The wonderful wife and I were lucky enough to capture a virtual plethora of interesting images, including a couple of unique nightscapes I look forward to sharing. One was taken in almost the same location as this one. I hope it turns out when I process it.

This was a bit of an unexpected scene, but those are usually the coolest in my opinion. We had just set up camp, and I happened to look back down the canyon to see a wonderful yellow light blasting through the clouds. The scene developed to climax into what you see here, extremely strange lighting conditions, all in the middle of a brief rainstorm. I actually toned down the colors a bit as it was so extremely alien to witness. I'm sure many of you have had similar incidents in the back country. It's hard to really capture such an event with glass, but hell, it is fun trying. I realize the trees on the right are a bit tilted, but that's wide angle for you, and I really don't think it detracts from the overall scene much. I'm interested in opinions on this though...

Box Canyon, Wyoming Range, Wyoming. ;]

By the way, Box Canyon Creek has to be one of the strangest streams I have ever seen. It comes out of almost nowhere, rips down the canyon, disappears again, then reappears at the bottom...it is totally bonking nuts!

Thanks for looking.
