Dream ...
Being in Colorado for more than one and a half years now I was very hesitant / ashamed to tell people that I have never been to Dream Lake. Whenever I have planned something happened and the plan got cancelled. So, 2 weeks back I made up my mind to go there definitely ... reached dream lake and was surprised to see so much ice over there ... anyway, obviously there was a great show of clouds but was very windy, so I again went up there today morning and obviously no cloud at all. Looks like will have to do quite a few trips up there .

I know everyone here is bored to death looking at dream lake images - but , I had to upload a few here .. the first two are taken today and the next two are from my last trip.

Thanks for your comments and critique as always.

I was there yesterday and couldn't find any lillies! I'm so jealous! We didn't have clouds yesterday, either, but had never been for sunrise. It's a beautiful place to spend a morning. Thanks for sharing! :smile:

I've lived in Colorado for several decades now and have never been to Dream Lake. :frown:
I like the fact that you got some unique views from there. I like #'s 1, 4 & 5 the best. I wish the aspen tree trunk (?) wasn't bisecting the plant in #5, though.

These are awesome, Soubhik--i especially like 2,3 and the Nymph shot. Some great sky color in 3!! 4 looks a little soft/contrasty. Nice set! :wavey:

Kurt: its not a real place, just a mythical spot we landscape photographers created in PS to mess with your head :wink:

I like the glimmer of red light and the low clouds over the peaks in #3
