Right after this shot, rain drops started to fall on the lake and disturbed the silky smooth lake surface. I packed up and decided to drive into the storm and realized the storm actually stopped just around 100 meters ahead of me. One side of the road was totally wet and the other side was totally dry -- looked like the photography god had intentionally stopped the rain in front of me just to let me finish my last shot. Any way, I decided drive into storm and immediately realized it was not a wise decision: the cold rain hit on dry and hot paved road, evaporated immediately and mist was risinig from road. I could hardly see the road condition. So I decided to go back to my hotel and my wife had prepared a nice warm dinner waiting for me.

I changed to Singh-Ray 3 stop hard ND Grad for this shot.
