Enveloped

It was a bright sunny day today, so we decided to go up Grouse Mountain, as we have an annual pass. We went up the gondola, and it was still sunny, but we could see patches of fog. So the next step was taking a chair lift to the top of the mountain. The fog kept getting thicker....I took this shot from the chair lift. When we got to the top, there is a wind turbine. (I know, go figure, a wind turbine at the top of a mountain?). We decided to go to the top of it even though we knew we would be able to see absolutely nothing, which was the case. By the time we got down the elevator, there was a torrential downpour, which we were not prepared for. We waited under cover for about 15 minutes, but the torrent of rain wouldn't stop. One of the workers there gave me a large garbage bag to wear, tearing a hole in it for my head. I was now seriously dressed to impress :) The trail down had turned into a river, so my feet were soaked through as well. And of course, the rain came through my camera backpack and soaked everything in there, including my camera. I was lucky it was okay. And in the end, it was all just an adventure...

 

If you zoom in, you might be able to see a wee bit more :)
