 My plan to drive through Yosemite on the way home from a work trip and photography the Milkyway. A summer rain storm passed through the mountains and blocked the views of the sky. I made the trip into the park and took a chance anyway. Lucky for me by sunset the clouds had blown out and left an almost clear view for the Milkyway.
