15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunrise Stanley Lake

Stanley Lake in Idaho is a favorite photo destination with excellent camping right at the waters edge. I'd been up shooting the Milky Way through the trees and still managed to get up before dawn to hike to this spot that I'd picked out. The early light and fog over the water make this a favorite.
