Buena Vista means “good view”, certainly an appropriate moniker on this fine evening. Cutting through a clean high-country sky, the setting sun’s rays boldly illuminated a very high-based convective cloud hovering directly over Mt. Princeton. Look closely at the upper portion of the mountain’s surface, above timberline, and behold the subtly warm hue of the cloud’s own sunset light, in turn reflected off the rock faces.
