Those conditions continued until (and beyond) 3PM when I decided it was best to get out of town - the wife and company were cleaning out the basement and garage, creating a very dangerous I-might-have-to-do-some-grunt-work situation.

Upon my arrival at the first tee in Lake Placid, the sun was still shining bright and all was right with the weather world. By my arrival at the third tee, dark ominous clouds had moved in and light rain began to fall. The light rain continued until I arrived at the 18th tee although I did have to seek shelter once when the rain was coming down very hard for about 20 minutes.

After the round was over and I was loading up the car, the sun appeared and bathed the golf course in warm late-day light. I stopped what I was doing and made some pictures. On my drive home, the sun, as it was setting, and clouds played a game of hide and seek. I stopped for about 10 minutes and made more pictures - seen here in sequential as-I-made-them order.

Good thing I got out of town when the getting was good.
