Midst of winter (Jan'08) - generally a long hibernation time in Seattle. Was longing to go out and got just perfect day to visit Rainier. We had started late and kind of reached around 12:00 noon - just on time to go for a snowshoeing walk with the NPS rangers on the Nisqually Vista Trail (http://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/winter-recreation.htm#CP_JUMP_142395). The tour was just perfect with first experience of snowshoeing, and being on Rainier when being graced with the cloud cap - which I found is named as Lenticular cloud. I had just got my Canon 30D and the sole 17-50mm lens. This was my first outdoor with the camera. On that day I was the only one carrying an SLR on the tour and kind of got some stares from the group. I remember one of the person started talking to me about the advantage of using a point-and-shoot and not much being the difference between an SLR and a point and shoot. I did not cross him much as I did not want to spoil his trip or mine. Towards afternoon 3:00pm - or rather evening considering the season - I captured the above snap. The visitor center on the right nearly buried under snow and cloud on the left gave an out-of-world look. This is unprocessed shot and straight out of camera.
