Description
Timothy Lake Sunrise Fire on Water, Mt. Hood, Oregon. A dramatic dawn on Timothy Lake, blue-gray sky and rosy clouds are reflected in the still waters, the serenity of the image enhanced by the horizon line spitting the frame top and bottom. A band of golden light illuminates the mist rising just off the lake, causing it to glow like fire on the water, this light counterpointed by the dark silhouettes of trees and their reflections on the water a third of the way in from the right of the frame. Sparse water plants provide foreground interest and an interestingly-shaped stump with plant growth protrudes from the water at mid range near the center of the frame, the centering of this dark object on the lighter water again emphasizing the stillness of the scene. See my other shot similar to this one of Timothy Lake. Located about 50 miles from Portland, Oregon in the Cascade Range, Timothy Lake is created by a dam on the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River. It is a popular location for camping, fishing, and boating. It hosts several campgrounds, some which provide beautiful views of the nearby peak of Mount Hood. See my many other shots of Timothy Lake and Mt. Hood.
