I got pretty lucky with this shot. I woke up at 5:30 for sunrise on the last morning of my camping trip in the area, hoping for the best. There were clouds in the sky to the east, and also clouds from the west pouring down over the mountains seen here. This gave a scene full of dynamic lighting, where one minute the mountainside would be in full sunlight, and the next minute in cloud. Caught this right in between that transition, and this barren rockiness and relatively colorless landscape really reminded me of shots of Mordor from LOTR--I hope you see it too!
