A landscape photographer's greatest friend?

The sun...

It's the sun that provides the paint - we only have to find the palette. 

And sometimes the sun seems to be nasty...hiding behind the clouds when we need it...

Not appearing.

And then, when it does show, it's magnificent.

But to create that magnificence, it needs the clouds.

So I had to learn to love the clouds as well - they help me create better pictures in the end.
