Storm on the Mountain
I've camped out on top of this mountain seven times now, still haven't quit got the shot I'm after, but here is on that I thought turned out alright, from one of the more eventful evenings. I'll let Dean guess where its taken from.

Any suggestions/comments appreciated.

Thanks.

Update Link to Much larger version is here, should have posted this to begin with...

You might have me on this one. :confused: Jeez, now I'm not going to get any sleep tonight. I'm going to say in the Absarokas because that's where you go and I think that's the Yellowstone River down there in the valley. Specifically the backside of Mount George or is it from Emigrant Peak? What do I get if I'm right? :smile:

Jeremy, looks dramatic but I would like to see even bigger.

Cool image. Would love to see it bigger and in more detail.

That's a nice shot. I'd like to see it bigger too!

One of my favorite places around here is a 4WD road in the area, offering a similar view overlooking Paradise Valley. I'd love to know where you were too. I agree that this is likely much more impressive larger. What a view though.

Dean you got it, its about 100 yards or so from the top of Emigrant. Here is a much larger version

Now THAT is much more impressive!

Not only is the larger image impressive, its also impressive that you've been up there seven times. I'm sure the view up there is incredible. I haven't yet climbed it, probably won't sad to say. All I can say is be careful, a father and son were killed up there awhile ago. Nice work Jeremy!

That's a great view indeed. Nicely done.

Very nice. Like the mood and the pano crop.
