Intermittent Rain, April 14, 2009

After shooting at Silver Falls for a couple of hours I started the drive back to civilization. As Highway 214 broke above the crest of the park's valleys I could see brightness behind the trees, a warm light spreading across the evening sky. When I rounded the corner at the park gate I yanked the steering wheel over and parked at the overlook. The glowing Spring sun had lit up the intermittently drizzling clouds like a monoblock behind a softbox. Shadows of rain draped down as tendrils of their mother clouds, reaching deep into the foothills of the Cascades like the roots of a thirsty young plant.
I grumbled a little as I dragged out the tripod again.

I love the way you can see the rain falling from some parts of the clouds. Is the picture cropped, or a few images stitched together?
The photo is cropped. I thought about stitching, but it can be a bit of a pain.
