Mt Rainier in Reflection Lake
This image was made at sunrise on the final morning of my trip to the park. The early light had just begun to illuminate the evergreen trees in the midground.
Mount Rainier, an active stratovolcano standing at 14,411 feet, dominates the scene. Its snow-capped summit and glaciers are mirrored in the lake's still surface.
In the midground, a dense forest surrounds the lake, primarily consisting of subalpine fir and mountain hemlock. These evergreens create a distinct border between the water and the mountain slopes.
In the foreground, a few wildflowers add touches of color. Indian Paintbrush and Aster flowers provide subtle red and blue hues in the bottom right corner. Their sparse presence suggests this was towards the end of the wildflower season in the park.
The clear, pale blue sky and warm morning light on the mountain showcase the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
