Clouds Were Drifting Through the Skies (Glacier National Park

            Clouds Were Drifting Through the Skies
Hiding mountains up high and descending to the valley below
The sunlight in turn added its own warmth and delight
For those in the park of glaciers, 
Those clouds were as if a traveler adding to the beauteous west.

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Glacier National Park not far from the Logan Pass area. ​​This was another of those image rotations I have on my Mac desktop from past trips where I decided to see what I could do with some post-processing knowledge I have with Capture NX2 and Color Efex Pro. With some adjustments to exposure to bring back some lost highlights, some use of color control points and a Low Key and Polarization filter, I was able to bring this out as a final image...and definitely a place I really need to visit again one year soon!
