Did you know before you went or were you just lucky? It's a nice shot anyway.

Tex,

We had a heads up on this. We plan to go back in September and try again, hopefully there's a cloud or two then.

Mike this is actually a sunset shot, about thirty seconds later the shadow just started fading away, inside a minute it was gone.

Nicely done. I didn't realise they were called "mittens". Were there many there to see this?

Nice shadow capture.
Was the inclusion of the tree in the foreground intentional?

Kevin,

There were about a dozen vehicles in the campground. There is a hotel there too but no where near full.

Bob,

Yes the tree was intentional.
