Description
A storm had just passed over Watkins Glen and the warm sun was breaking through the misty air in the glen.
Watkins Glen State Park is located in the Finger Lakes region of New York, at the southern end of Seneca Lake, in the north eastern United States.
This image was captured with a Canon EOS DSLR / Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens. The focal length was 21mm, ISO was set at 400 with an f/8 aperture and shutter speed of 1/30 sec. The camera was mounted on a Manfrotto tripod and 222 joystick ball head.
No special effects have been applied here. The sun rays are just as they actually appeared to the naked eye.
Your comments are always welcome! Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Very cool capture, Gene... On of those right place, right time moments! Fav'd.
Gene Walls replied:
You are sooo right, Aaron! My wife and I stayed behind when everyone else ran for cover to escape a nasty thunderstorm. When the rains finally cleared, we had this unforgettable view all to ourselves. We both snapped away for several minutes, before the rays faded away. It was a magic moment. Kindest regards, Gene
