A brilliant sunrise, almost unmatched in my memories, lights up the dawn skies over the partially placid waters of Lake McDonald, in Glacier National Park, Montana.
I haven't posted or done much of anything with photography this summer--and I've been missing it!--but I'm finally getting to go on a long-planned trip to Glacier National Park in a couple of days, and that impending adventure inspired me to take a another quick look through the files from my last visit there a few years ago.
While I've posted images from this sunrise before (perhaps too many, but it really was that magnificent), I noticed this one with its slightly different geometry, wind blown water textures and ethereal rising mists, and I decided that a quick post might be just thing before hitting the road to see this magical place once again.
So, dare I hope for another unforgettable display as the sun nears the horizon one morning or evening on this trip? Is there a touch of superstition in not wanting to hope too much in advance for brilliant sunrises or sunsets, like a sports fan worried about jinxing their team's chances with dreams of victory? Suffice it to say, I look forward to any surprises of light nature may choose to share!
Note that I've done almost no processing here--just enough to bring the RAW file quickly back to the appearance of my reference jpeg image--so give all the credit for this beauty to nature alone.
Thanks for viewing!
