Snowy Range Sunrise
Here is a morning image from the Snowy Range. This is sunrise at Lake Marie. I had the typical cloudless summer sunrise but the location was hard to beat. I just wish I had more clouds.

I did another blog entry that talks about how early sunrise is

I've seen a number of images from this alpine lake recently and this one is a great take on it. I too love the flow of the water captured with this shutter speed ... enough blur to soften the movement while still retaining the essence of its power. Good stuff.

I am going up there tomorrow afternoon to shoot the Perseid meteor shower (as well as sunset and sunrise). Hopefully I will be super lucky and have clouds for sunset, no clouds at night and clouds for sunrise!

Van, hope you get just what you need. Have a great trip. BTW I think Lookout lake might even be a better shot, but is a 200 yard walk.

Another nice shot from the Snowy's Darren. I really like the perspective here.

Very nice and I can almost feel the cool in the air! I enjoyed your blog also. Keep the great pictures coming.

Wow, what a refreshing scene! Clouds might have been a little better, but still a great image. Maybe needs just a slight CCW rotation...
