Day Two: Sunrise at Reflection Lakes - Mt. Rainier National Park
Reflection Lakes is one of the most photographed spots in Mt. Rainier. It's close to the road, Paradise Inn is just a couple miles away, and the lake provides a perfect mirror for the mountain. In July and August, there are (supposedly) wildflowers all along the banks.
Do you notice something missing from Reflection Lakes in my shot? Like, maybe the REFLECTION? LOL It was still under a few feet of snow thanks to the extra 300 inches the area received over the winter.
I had to try and figure out a way to make this old, dirty snow scene photogenic. I figured that shooting it at dawn might make for some pretty, soft, pastel colors. I don't know that I succeeded... but here you go!
