It was raining the morning we left London and drove out to Stonehenge. We were feeling less and less optimistic about our timing as the rain continued throughout the day. Fortunately, as we boarded the shuttle that took us to the site, the rain stopped and the clouds began to break apart a bit. The dying light of the day mixed well with the layers of clouds in this 4 shot HDR exposure.

I was pleased with the clarity of this shot despite the fact that it was taken through the window of a moving helicopter. The white line you see on the sides of the lake is the original water line. Lake Mead is currently down 91 feet.
