Rock slides are everywhere in Arthur's Pass National Park. Road engineers had to design creative structures to avoid road wash-outs. This picture was taken in the pouring rain. Sarah and I coordinated the effort to get this shot. She jumped out of the car with a jacket and held it over the camera just long enough for me to get the shot. Unfortunately, as I tried to jump back in the car, the jacket got wrapped around my head and I fell into the car and let go of the door. The door swung open due to the wind and drenched Sarah. I was completely blind and confused. After Sarah got back into the car, we both had a good laugh and were just happy the stupid shot actually came out.

The picture is good, but the story is even better. Amanda and I had a good chuckle reading your caption.
