Nokhu Crags, seen from State Highway 14 on the west side of Cameron Pass
Elevation 12,485 ft. Moisture sublimates from snow to cloud without first melting. Long exposure also shows the star trails. This was captured during a full moon, so the stars are less than they would be on a dark night. But, the daylight-like exposure of the mountain is a benefit.
I'm quite certain this will be under-appreciated. It was an awesome experience to view and photograph this scene in the full moon.

Middling score during the first day. Most people will not catch the significance of the clouds flowing from right to left (prevailing winds). And, the stars are flowing from left to right (earth rotation). It's a grand motion blur shot, but will be under appreciated, as expected.
