The Three Patriarchs - a photo on Flickriver

Well... I'm finally back on my computer after a three day photo rampage. I met up with flickr friends Rob (Riverboy) and Brian (chaybert). Man... I don't know how anyone keeps up with that guy. He has to shoot about 27 different locations per day and plan what we will be shooting each hour of each day about three days in advance. I had forgotten what it was like trying to cram six months worth of photography into a 5 day trip, like I used to do back when I had a 'normal' job! So... Anyway... Thursday night, I arrived in Zion, slept in the back of my truck in preperation for the next mornings hike. Brian slept in his Prius, and Rob in a tent.

The Plan - We were going to hike the Narrows. (Wade knee deep through freezing cold water for several miles in a fairly narrow, very tall slot canyon) Brian wanted to leave at 6:30 am. This made no sense to me since it doesn't even start getting light out until 7:00. I was shooting to depart around 10:00. So we compromised. He agreed to leave at 7:00.

What actually happened - It rained all night. We all woke up around 7:00, freezing, wet, and miserable and sat there bitching about how much the night sucked, and tried to decide what to do. We knew the hike was pretty much out, because the sky was gray and it was still raining. Without any light, canyons look very flat and boring. We decided to drive to the nearest town and go to a Coffee shop. As we were driving towards the park, we could see all these spectacular storm clouds hanging super low and swirling around the mountains. I immediately said, "Forget the coffee shop. I'm shooting." So, we ended up spending almost the entire morning in the park shooting with some of the most FANTASTIC skies I have EVER seen!
