October Evening at Colchuck Lake

October Evening at Colchuck Lake
To my surprise, I won the Enchantments lottery Core Pass in 2018. The first day, we hiked to Colchuck Lake and set up camp. The next day, we explored the lake area and found this cool hill which overlooked the lake flanked by Dragontail Peak at center and Aasgard Pass just to the right, below. The night before, snow covered the upper areas which gave the mountains quite interesting contrast. As I set up my piXplorer panoramic assistant (robot), the sun began to set and the colors hit the clouds. My favorite aspect of this image is clouds/fog rolling up and over towards the lake.
