I was a few hundred feet below the top of the pass and the mountains behind me to the left are a good thousand feet above that. I was in a saddle that the light was already peaking through and combined with a large area of dried out grass (like the foreground) behind me to my right the area was really bright in comparison to the shadows. As crazy as this light was you should see it when there's a storm breaking up. It's like spotlights shining through holes in the clouds moving at 30 mph. It's almost too stunning to waste looking through a viewfinder.

Check out the link below. Adam is my landscape mentor out here...lol. Actually he's friend that's willing to let me poach his knowledge. His stuff is amazing.
