. . Mt. Hood, Oregon by Reinhold S., on Flickr
I like to think that you are hiking through the woods for 3 days with a travois, a trusty dog, a flint rifle, a pack of film, grisly beard, and a raccoon hat and you stumbled upon this majestic scene and said "god is good, I will take a photograph".
Please don't say you just parked your Land Rover and this was the site and there was a sign in the parking lot like that have in Disney "Picture Spot".
This is an amazing photo!!

That Mount Hood photo was taken from Larch Mountain (Oregon), on a platform where a former fire lookout stood.
It's a short half mile uphill stumble on a rocky trail from a seasonal road end parking lot.
A half mile of any kind of trail is a grunt with an 8x20 camera, four massive lenses, and the usual beast of a tripod.
We (with Judy, my faithful, tough, seasoned wife formed the "expedition" ) arrived that lackluster, cloudless afternoon.
Great view, but uninspiring lighting. Grrrrr.
Chatted with some folks who were awestruck with the camera.
(We always invite people to look thru the camera and explain things.)
We shot one film holder, packed everything up and started back down.
Stumbling back down the trail, I glanced back at the mountain and saw that clouds had suddenly moved in...
We urgently clawed back up to the top and shot the last film of the day.
Sometimes things work out nicely...
