Heenan Lake sunrise
This is Heenan Lake at sunrise, up on Monitor Pass. I really thought this might be a great location for sunrise and showing some Fall colors from the Aspen trees around the lake, but I was wrong. For one thing, because this is a lower elevation, the Aspen trees hadn’t really started to change color yet. And for a second thing, I just didn’t really like the lake too much and I could not find a good composition that I liked. I waited around until the sun rose above the mountains and shone on the trees and lake. I did get a nice reflection but I just am not overly happy with the photo otherwise. Maybe I’m being too picky. Maybe I’d like it better if the Aspens were in full color. Ah well.
The lake I also found to be rather “dirty” and “yucky”. I had my dog with me, and I just KNEW she wanted to get in that lake. I told her NO WAY are you getting in that lake, my dear puppy. I had to tie her up on her leash beside my camera bag so she couldn’t wander on down to the lake while I was busy taking my photo. She didn’t like that too much, mostly because there wasn’t any comfortable place she could lie down on all these rocks at the end of the lake.
