Bret Edge posted an image on from 9/17. This was taken on 9/21 to show what has changed.

I don't think it will get much better before the grove in the far back drops too many leaves.

Note that the snow pockets look grey.

Wowser - very nice! How many other photogs were you sharing your view with? At least it appears all were considerate enough not to dip feet, tripods, etc. in the water and spoil the mirror surface. Not that I have any experience in that regard! :mad:

Great shot, the clouds make it interesting. Yea, how many people were up there today?? I wish we could get a dusting of snow on the mountains!!

Nice work, Mike. Looks like the aspens have made some strides in just a week.

It was not crowded. Most people were to the far left so there was tons of space to set up.

I like the symmetrical comp and the great sunrise glow on the peaks. Looks like it was a perfect time to be there. :toast:
