Location: Glacier National Park, Montana

Glacier National Park is a place where the Prairies and the Rockies meet abruptly. High mountains, glacial lakes, waterfalls, grizzlies co-exist with humans to create a unique and beautiful environment. Located in Northwest Montana, this remote place is hard to get to, but definitely worth a visit. July - Sept are the best months to visit Glacier National Park.

A narrow beam opening of light through the clouds illuminated the stands of the rain on the opposite side of the valley creating rivers of rain in the sky. I selected an appropriate foreground that echoes the strand rain in the sky. ND Grad filter was used to slow the shutter speed of the water on the ground.

HI Jay
Simply marvellous. Sun between clouds and mountains is captured with a very good timing. Foreground with flowers is great too. Congratulations.

Hi Jay,
This is an amazing shot with most unusual light conditions. I like the colorful fore ground as it leads into the expansive view. Great shot and TFS. Gerald

Hi Jay,
You've captured such good depth in this image, along with the amazing light and sun rays. Add to that a good composition, a touch of purple colour in the foreground flowers, and what do you get......a superb photo all around. Very well done.
Cheers Grant
