This isn't a very good painting but oh what a trip.  It was a 4.5 K hike steadily uphill on an old unused two rut road to get to this location.  It was a long hot climb but the view of Pic Island from the top made it all worthwhile.

I had trouble concentration on painting because a massive thunderhead was approaching.  As the thunder got louder and louder and the sky got darker and darker I painted faster and faster.  At about 20 minutes I decided that I had better high tail it off the mountain.
