dream lake

It was 18 degrees out, the wind was 15-20mph, it was blowing a bit of snow but I was living the dream up at Dream Lake. It was a short 1 mile hike to it, and I was glad I was wearing ice cleats on the bottom of my snow boots as there was a section of the trail that was only about 6" wide for a...

This is from Dream Lake from last year in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Although it looked nice in color, I thought it had some tones that translated well to B&W. All comments are welcome, Jim

Yesterday's sunrise at frozen Dream Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park. Both pictures took from the same location at around same time, one facing west and the other east. It was very hard to take the pictures with gusty winds up to 35 mph.

On my recent time in Colorado I hiked several times up to Dream Lake to shoot the sunset with the best ice bubbles I could find. While these are not the cool 3D methane bubbles Kyle shot up in Banff, these are my poor man bubbles. :) All comments are welcome, Jim
