Bear Lake and Hallett Peak

Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Bear Lake

I made this image on the last day of a week long vacation in Rocky Mountain National Park.  After unsuccessfully photographing the nearby Dream Lake several mornings, I decided to drive up Bear Lake Road to have one last look at Bear Lake before heading home to Arkansas.  When I arrived, I found the area covered in a heavy frost.  I decided to compose the image with the three large boulders in shadow as the foreground due to there strong triangular shapes and contrast compared to the mountains in the distance.
