Frozen Dreams
Dream Lake Alpenglow - Rocky Mountain National Park
Unreal experience capturing this image. After convincing my girlfriend to wake up very early to drive up to the park, we arrived at the Bear Lake parking lot around 5:15am. We got out of the car to feel freezing temperatures and the wind howling through the trees. We put on our headlamps and began the mile hike to Dream Lake. As we got on the trail it was covered in packed down snow making it very icy. We finally got to the lake after taking careful steps all the way there and all of a sudden the wind hit us. It must have been whipping 50mph+ coming right in our faces. I took out my tripod and set up and found the fastest composition I could. As I sat there holding on to my tripod for dear life and firing off shots, my girlfriend hunkered down behind a tree. After about 20 minutes the clouds began to light up and all the brutal elements began to be worth it. After enjoying the show for a few minutes, we carefully packed up and hiked back to the car. Beautiful experience and the best shots come when they aren't the easiest to get.
