There was a nice series of storm cells moving through this basin, each lasting about 15-30 minutes, which went on for several hours before clearing for the evening.
This image was just after a cell had moved through, and you can see the remnants over the ridgeline as the squall breaks up.
I stayed dry by ducking into and under the Alpine Fir (Abies lasiocarpa) trees, which are very efficient at shielding from the brief, intense rains.
I would just brew up a spot of tea during those times, and enjoy the force of nature.
This was the 6th day of an 8 day trip. I never saw anyone on this trip until hitting a main valley trail on the way out.

Thanks Bobgood1. You can attribute that to the fine old Zeiss lens.
Wow! Nice lighting. Magic hour, or pp?
Thanks ImTrying and Longshadow.
ImTrying, no real postprocessing, except I did crop it a little and cloned out a dust spot from the scan. It was just unusual lighting because of the storm clouds moving through.
Very appealing composition and the overcast and rain gave everything a beautifully saturated look.

A masterpiece, Laurence! Perfect lighting, focus, composition.
Where in the Olympics? I'm fairly familiar with the park. I used to do a lot of hiking there when I was younger.
This is a magical shot, Laurence! The lighting is amazing! A very captivating image!
This is a beautiful shot. It does look isolated but very beautiful. The tea under the trees sounds like a good way to pass the time of the storm.
What a gorgeous capture Lawrence - great job!!!

Botann, this is upper Cameron Creek, just below Cameron Basin.
