This was taken on a stormy May evening, just before sunset, on Lake Tahoe. I had gone to this location to try to get photos of Bonsai Rock. I wasn't able to see it from the road above, and hiked down the steep mountain side in search of it. Turns out I was a bit further south than I thought. It was very dark out due to the stormy low clouds and rain. All of a sudden a hole opened in the clouds and the sun appeared. Then I heard thunder in the not-too-far distance, so I took this shot and climbed up the near vertical hillside as fast as I could. I got up to the car as it started to pour. To my amazement, Bonsai Rock was in the image, to the right of center.
