The Loch
On this morning I hiked up to The Loch in Glacier Gorge via moonlight. The moon was so bright that I only needed a headlamp in the deep forest as I made my way up the trail. Then, as sunrise approached, the clouds to the east (opposite direction of this photo) began to glow with a gentle red color which then colored the mountains with their warm hue. The ice on the lake had such interesting textue as well. Although it was rather breezy, it was a gorgeous start to the day. Photo © copyright by Erik Stensland.
