I had seen this small pond reflecting at Standley Lake for years but I never shot it due to the difficulty of getting to it. On this day I decided to go down to the lake to shoot when a storm came rolling in. I hurried over to the small pond to shoot before the storm consumed the area. I loved the way the trees of this pond lined up perfectly symmetrically against the intensity of the storm above and reflections of the water and logs in the foreground. This is one of my favorite storm photos I have ever taken.
