On the evening I made this image, an old Austrian hiker I met on the trail asked me why I would bother hiking up the mountain to find an image on such a dull, gray evening. Even when the light looks terrible, it's always important for a landscape photographer to stay determined. Some of my best images are made as the sky clears after a day of awful weather.
