Loveland Pass, Colorado.

An early summer morning at Pass Lake, just below Loveland Pass. I had been camping nearby and made the short drive over to the lake shortly after waking to catch the first light of the day.

The water was perfectly still, reflecting the surrounding mountains as the sun began to illuminate the higher ridgelines. Aside from the occasional marmot calling from the surrounding tundra and the wind moving across the landscape, the morning was remarkably quiet.

A simple but memorable moment in the Colorado high country.
