    ...I was pleased to have a rare calm, cloudy day at the summit with the world's most chaotic weather.
    I must had hiked the presidential chain a good 30 times in my life, camping at the summit almost every times. I have seen pretty bad weather there but I remember one end-of-July day being caught mid-way from the summit from the lake of the cloud in 125 mph + gushing winds, ascending (because of the wind) heavy near freezing rain. In a few occasion I had hard time stopping running uphill, pushed by the wind. I had to climb for the most part backward, feet first, head facing the ascending win and holding to the ground as I would have done if instead it was a steep downhill. On a few occasions, I ended up floating in the wind like a flag only holding by one hand. The rain hitting the raincoat was so violent and the noise it was making was so intense that resisting to panic during the hours backward ascent was the hardest thing I ever did. The win even at flipped over a heavy car going down on the road into a ravine.
    I have seen big man, military trainees rescued by the lake of the cloud team after being lost on a ninthly thunder storm, crying like babies.
    This mountain can be very serious business indeed.

    Pardon the colorized butterfly cliche, but I thought this tattered fellow deserved some extra attention.

    Amazing photos everyone. Love the variety.
    @ SquamishPhoto,I'm seeing that colored face makeup in a lot of fashion photos lately. Pretty cool effect.

    This is a shot you can only get during a certain time of the year. Every fall for a couple of weeks these geese take off late in the day and move from one end of the bay to the other. Most likely they're anticipating a change in the wind overnight.

    D800 sigma 35 ND 10 stop filter. Maybe a bad choice for it as the clouds were lazy moving along.

    This is one of the motels on Route 66 in Carthage, Missouri. As the neon signs were not working and the lime green neon around the building and the pink office sign had not been erected in the restoration, I made an attempt to add these in LR 4.4. This image was shot about 8 AM in the morning and adjusted so as to appear as a night shot. Very steep learning curve for me....LOL

    @Bland: Brilliant!

    @jimo: Fantastic!

    @Pierre: Terrifying story! I have been caught out in the Appalachians in a big wind which I found truly awesome but it was a literal breeze in comparison to yours.

    @Msmoto: You have such patience - in LR4?

    Not much of a view this way, but I was pleased to get a photo of my friend on the summit of Mt. Washington without any tourists or structures in the background. Hiker is Chickadee, a March 2nd start like me.

    Nikon D800 + AF-S 16-35mm F4 VR, zoomed during the 30 second exposure from 16-35mm.
    If I take a good photo it's not my camera's fault.

    This waterfall pic was taken in complete darkness. The D800 still amazes me as to how much info it can pull out.
