Description
Mountains reflected
Isabelle reveals nothing
Blue Sky, blue water
-- Kasie McGee
At 10,868 feet, Lake Isabelle in Colorado's Indian Peaks Wilderness is a stunning example of a crystalline mountain lake sitting in the shadow of the Continental Divide, and it did not disappoint during one summer morning I visited. When I arrived before sunrise, the air was calm, the reflection of the mountains on the water complete. As is often the case there during the middle of the week at first light, I could discern not a single human soul there other than my own. It seemed as if all of Creation were still at that moment, so overpowering was the silence in that glorious cathedral.
As the sun rose behind me I took many photos, hoping at least I had one image that was worthy of the moment. Finally, after nearly an hour of gorging on this embarrassment of scenic riches, I packed my gear and prepared to head up to Pawnee Pass. Suddenly a cool breeze wafted down from the mountains. Silently I could see it coming toward me on the lake as it slowly overwhelmed what seconds earlier had been a perfect reflection. When it reached two-thirds across, I captured this image. A minute later the reflection was all but gone.
