Photo by @jonathan_irish // It’s good to be lucky. Persistence will usually get you the desired results (in photography, at least). But sometimes you just get lucky on the first try. I’d been wanting to photograph the aptly named Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park at sunrise ever since I first laid eyes on it. I knew that, if preparation and effort happened to mix with a little bit of serendipity, it would be a beautiful scene. It had snowed the day before this attempt, and we got up super early from our campsite for the early morning hike. It was icy and slippery on the short hike in the dark to get to this spot. We questioned our sanity a few times on the way as we slipped in the dark. But we made it to the spot with plenty of time, and waited for the magic to happen. And boy, did it ever. It was an insanely beautiful sunrise that morning, accented by the freshly fallen snow. I love the alpine glow, but fell in love with the orange reflection on the iced over lake. It was a sunrise to remember. I would have kept going back day after day until I got this shot..but sometimes it’s really nice just to be lucky.
