Photo of the Day -- A Photo Never Does it Justice

Img_3684

I took this photo last week on my way home from a late night flight. I was returning from a glacier flight and the clouds were building into towering cumulous all around. The clouds would occasionally fall from the sky in the form of slushy white rain. The weather had been deteriorating through the evening, and I struggled to get back down the glacier from 8000'. It was one of those nights where the fog was appearing out of thin air, while I watched... so I was anxious to get out of the mountains. As the vegetation of lower elevations came into view this hole formed in the clouds, and shown on the toe of the glacier. It was strikingly beautiful because it was like flying down a dark tunnel towards the light at the end. I wish I could have captured the feel, but I guess this picture will have to do.
