Longs Peak over Bear Lake

Front Range, Colorado

California › Central Coast (Winter/Spring)

Sometimes the best moments come rather easily...

Sometimes it takes an insane amount of, um, insanity to get the shot. Like Dora Lake. But then, sometimes the best moments come rather easily. This was captured on a pleasant (albeit cold) October morning from a well-maintained path around a very popular lake. You can drive right up to it. The sky was wonderful, the reflection beautiful (hardly any wind), the snow on Longs Peak perfect. I walked around the lake a bit, found this vista, and simply enjoyed the view.
