Last Few Seconds

This was what I call a surgical visit. I was visiting Capitol Reef but the forecast looked good for the Paria Wilderness. I drove for one day from Escalante to White Pocket just to catch the light. It was rainy before sunset but the hope was there. The sun managed to penetrate the clouds just for a few seconds. And when this happens, the magic happens. The only sad moment came when I realized that this famous tree has died. The drought was just too much.
