Today I drove around Colorado for a bit, and then through Rocky Mountain National Park. Unfortunately, there were thunderstorms when I was in the park, which cut down on the photo opportunities. For some reason it seemed like a bad idea to be standing around on a mountain top with lightning strikes going off around you, holding a metal camera to my face. Okay, that really didn't stop me much, it was the dang clouds that was the problem. But it was neat to be driving through the clouds.
