Clouds and Wind

As I walked the lakeshore among the Tetons, I encountered several "bear warning" signs. Admitedly the signs were a little intimidating. Nevertheless I remained out in nearly complete darkness to capture one of the most beautiful sunsets I have experienced. And thankfully so, as shooting sunset on the Wyoming side of the Tetons is critically dependent on one element.... clouds. I fully believe it is better to be lucky than good, and this shot proves it. The clouds and wind combined to create a mood that exceptional. I used a polarizer to flatten the rough waters and capture the reflecting light. What a colorful scene!
