A unique, local phenomena that is affectionately called the 'BBC', or Bridger Bowl Cloud, which descends like a blanket over the east-central Bridger Mountains and leaves behind a prodigious amount of snow. In reality, the abundance of snow is not necessarily caused by a cloud, but rather a weather event called 'upslope precipitation', wherein the snow starts to fall when a cold, moist northwestern air flow moves through the canyon and is forced upward by the unique geography of the mountains, creating precipitation in the higher elevations, as seen here near Bozeman, Montana, US.

Love this!
Hi Stephen
This is a lovely shot indeed.
I like the way you have captured the play of light on the flooded landscape and the clouds above. Most commendable.
I am very fond on monochrome photography, especially when employed for portraiture and landscape. When used intelligently, as so in your shot, it beats colour photography hands down.
I will be taking time out to view your photo gallery – you have marvellous work on display. Thanks much.
Laurence
