This particular photographs of Lake McDonald was taken about halfway down the Going to the Sun Road, which closely follows the lakes entire southern shoreline. Scenes like this are quite common on Lake McDonald - low level clouds form during the evening as the air cools. The clouds, unable to "drift away" due to the generally calm conditions found in the morning hours and because the mountains themselves act as a "cloud block", tend to hang around for a while until the sun can evaporate them away.
