Serenity Blue #1

Eklutna Lake nestles high in Chugach State Park above Anchorage, providing residents with both exceptionally pure drinking water and extraordinary scenery. By late September, the foliage burns golden and auburn, This view captures the southern head of the lake, where sheer mountains tower over a remote valley, only a few weeks before snowfall. I was struck by the colors and the shadows, and the crisp reflection of the terrain in the lake’s mirror surface. To me, they conveyed the mood of quiet and repose that comes before the long winter.
