Ethereal Glow

I had begun the process of packing up, frozen hands, waiting to step into the car and turn the heater on. [It was 90 a few days ago, it was 47 not counting the wind chill here] I turned around and saw this developing scene, light pouring through the ridge line, clouds and fog slipping through the trees, glowing bright and vibrant. My chills forgotten I set back up, re set my composition and waited. Waiting is the hardest part of photography, because you know what you want, and the light teases like it will relent. Most of the time you don't get the shot you're looking for. Here though, the light decided it would play along. This is the result, the wind calmed for just long enough to capture the scene, and all at once the light vanished, the wind howled and I was cold again.

ISO: 160 Aperture: f11 SS: 1/5th Focal: 80mm  I can ignore the heat, the cold, the sunburns, and the bugs out for my blood... as long as I am focused on getting a shot.
