After missing the last four weeks of Sky Watch Friday because of being away and then trying to get back in the swing of things with work I am back! I already had numerous photographs ready for Sky Watch but I got a bunch more on this trip out west.This photograph was taken at Logan's Pass in Glacier National Park. With the weather being warm this year I wasn't prepared for the weather we faced here. The temperatures were in the 30 degree range with winds pushing upwards of 50 mph. At times it snowed and other times it would drive sleet into our faces making it hard to look up. Often these mountains were obscured in cloud cover but occasionally the wind would blow the clouds aways revealing the beauty of Glacier. I have been to the park before but with the weather this trip it was especially beautiful.
I hope you all enjoy it and I will do my best to get around to as many sites as possible today.

A beautiful shot. I used to always like sunny days to photograph but then I realized that weather such as that often results in the most dramatic photographs.
Awesome photo Brad, looks a little too cold for me...

Those cloudy, icy skies make me shiver just looking at your photo. Beautiful shot, Bradley. I also liked the bighorns you posted yesterday. Looks like you had a pretty awesome trip to Alaska!

Hello Brad, this is an absolutely stunning picture. I don't think I could have stood those temperatures/ winds though. I like my warmth to much. I will have to come back later and look at some more of your photos as I like what I have seen thus far. Have a nice day. Happy Sky Watching.

This shot is beautiful! I've only been out west once and found that there's nothing like the beauty out there. Next time, I'll definitely check out this park!
Oh my, you've been a great ambassador for that part of the US. Your photos are truly awesome.
