Description
Anyone that has ever been to the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park knows close you are to the top of so many peaks. Because of this the weather can change so fast. It can be sunny and 65 one minute and blowing snow and 30 degrees the next. While photographing bears for most of the morning, I was watching the clouds come in over the peaks and swirl around as if Mother Nature was just teasing us (There were several others photographing/watching the bears). We only thought it was just a matter of time before things would get worse and the storm would hit us hard, but it never did. I was so captivated by it I decided to sit back and watch it work. The clouds just wrapped around each peak until it submitted to the storm.

Awesome movement in this Mark...what a great experience you had by witnessing this:)
Mark Kiver replied:
Pictures really don't do this justice. Watching these clouds slide over and around these peaks that some are over 10,000 feet was just amazing. Any minute I thought I was going to have to pack my gear in my car and call it a day from shooting. But nothing every came of it. The movement in the clouds was really a sight to see.
