” I’m Only Happy When It Rains”

It finally rained at Zion National Park yesterday after a month of parched earth.  Things come alive when it pours and it really poured.  Waterfalls appear and rising fog adds atmosphere.  The Virgin River at The Narrows was closed due to a flow rate of 787 CFS, which is cubic feet per second.

    There’s something very Asian about that first image. They all have a moody feeling to them.

      I think it’s those somewhat bare trees.

      Thanks Jackson. Those conditions didn’t last long as that fog was lifting quickly
