Kirk, Good to see your work here. This is a wonderful image, i suspect there was some waiting to get that cloud perfectly situated?

Thanks Jan. I can't resist a thread on ruins. No I was shooting the opposite direction and was starting to take the camera down. I stepped around the front of the camera to take the lens off and saw this scene developing behind the camera. I quickly swung the camera around leveled it, jumped under the hood to focus and frame, switched filters metered and shot. I got off one exposure before the cloud rose beyond my framing and evaporated.

Just one of those gifts from the camera gods.
