Cub Lake, RMNP

I paid Cub Lake a visit on Sunday and then continued on to Fern Lake and Lake Odessa. Some of the aspens leading up to Cub were about 50% green, but there was a lot of yellow. At Cub lake and beyond, it ran closer to 75% turned and a lot of the leaves had already fallen.

Here is a pano of Cub Lake. A larger sized version can be found here: http://static.flickr.com/84/253258055_d076159a0d_o.jpg

Very interesting formation of lilypad plants in the lake. I like the complete circle. I've never seen anything quite like this, and it makes the shot even more interesting.

Yes, it was almost a perfect "O". The trail from Cub Lake towards the Mill Creek Basin provides an elevated view of the lake and I think I snapped a shot of the crop circle, err lilypad circle from there.

I've only ever got part of the circle in my shots, nice pano Harold!

Nice shot. Really like the blue sky.

Nice work. Is this a pano crop or stitch of multiple images?

Thanks Dan! Adam, it is stiched from six images. I converted from raw using the same settings and white balance then used a shareware program called Panorama Factory to do the actual stitching.

Thanks!

Nice shot. I wonder if we ran into each other up there - you were at Cub a lot earlier than I judging from the light (my sky and mountain didn't come out nearly so well), but perhaps coming down. Those lilies caught me by surprise when they came into view from above. Never seen them do that before.
