On our first evening at Glacier National Park, we noticed this spectacular cloud formation with a just the right amount of opening along the horizon. As the sun begin to break the through under the clouds, I selected this Indian paint brush bush as my foreground due to its brilliant colors. Besides getting the exposure correct, strong wind provided constant challenge to shoot the flowers.
