These photographs actually span two different days at the same location. I was in Wyoming at the Saratoga Resort and Spa on assignment and decided to go up to nearby Medicine Bow National Park. The first day was one of the coolest experiences of my life. The mountains were high enough, and the clouds low enough, that you could be completely in the clouds at times. Visibility on the road could get down to 50 feet easily, so the foreground was visible, but everything else was simply and utterly white. At the peak of Medicine Bow Mountain, I decided to park my car and just wander around somewhat aimlessly, without a trail or anything, using just a general sense of direction to eventually find my way back. A little ways out, the desolation was just amazing. Because the fog engulfed the world in front and behind, there was just an oppressive silence and stillness over everything. Of course, as tends to happen, my luck turned a little bad and it started to rain when I was about two miles from my car. The next day, I went up again and the weather was much better. The skies were relatively clear, and I could see that where there had been only whiteness before, there were now mountains in the background, or valleys. Overall, one of the better experiences of my life.
