A view across Sparks Lake at dawn showing Broken Top, a jagged mountain peak with patches of snow, in the background; a line of dense pine forest along the near shoreline; and a band of amber-tinted mist hovering just above the lake's calm surface, with the mountain and trees reflected in the water below it.

Dawn at Broken Top

I took this photo on the walk back to the car after shooting sunrise at Sparks Lake near Bend, Oregon. A bunch of wildfire smoke had blown into the mountains overnight from a fire in eastern Washington and the light was catching the smoke and the dawn mist on the lake beautifully. This photo reminds me of the view across Lonesome Lake to Franconia Ridge but with the jagged volcanic slopes of Broken Top looming above the pine trees instead of the smoother lines of the White Mountains.
