North Lake Fall Reflections
A full array of color along the shores of North Lake, in Bishop Creek Canyon. I am glad I made a trip into the canyon when I arrived yesterday, as it was pretty much calm...unlike all day today with 20-40MPH winds! I was drawn to these reflections as I scouted out my sunrise comp for the next morning, so I put on the telephoto and found some nice leading lines from the reflections zoomed in tight. I also managed to capture some nice pre dawn light and alpenglow at North Lake this morning with long exposures (will share those soon), but that was it for the day! Too much wind to photograph anything....but the sights were beautiful and I got a good day hike in.
I would say that next week will be absolutely prime for peak color in this area. Driving up Bishop Canyon, there are still tons of lime green Aspen, but the upper reaches are already peaking and the canyon walls along the mountainside are bright yellow and orange. I also drove up Rock Creek Canyon today and the upper elevations were absolutely on fire, including Rock Creek Lake. Hope you enjoy this one, let me know what you think!
