Description
I've stopped to capture this setting every time I've been to the park since June of 2009, always with good results, but I never was fully satisfied with the outcome. I wanted something dramatic. After shooting in the rain a few times in the park, I wished for rain on Reagan's Mill every time I went. This particular morning, it was raining when we entered The Motor Nature Trail, but as we continued through the winding road, the rain stopped. I accepted that I'd have to wait for another trip to capture what I wanted. That was right up to the point we were 100 yards away from the mill, going down a hill and it poured down rain in buckets. I looked up to the sky and said, "Really, you're going to present me with this perfect setting?" I parked, got my umbrella out and set up my tripod as I had done dozens of times in the past. I shot a series of photographs there without really looking at the results in the camera. This is Reagan's Mill, one of the most beautiful settings in the national park.

Nice, Pete. curious - is this is a newly taken pic or a reworking of a past taken pic?

Hi Dan. This is one of my favorite places in the park, so I shoot it often. It's a completely new photo. I have two other originals posted as Behind the Mill and Behind the Mill 2
