Under the Weather
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) sits high on a mesa above the town of Boulder, Colorado. On the left of the scene, the setting sun is breaking through low clouds that are providing a dusting of early-season snow to the Flatiron formation that rises behind NCAR.
Immediately prior to capturing this photo, I was upstairs in my home office working, where I've been ensconced since March 2020 due to the pandemic. I happened to glance out the window where I noticed some dramatic interaction between cloud and light. I figured a quick break from project work might be beneficial, so I grabbed my long, telephoto lens and wandered across the street to the large open field near our home. After a brief respite, it was time to return to spreadsheets, documents, and email.
