Glass Morning by Peter Coskun Nature Photography

The very first morning from my trip to Glacier National Park. We awoke to clear skies and haze with a number of wildfires burning nearby. This was my third visit to the park, and I had never photographed the Lake McDonald area. Since we were staying on the west side, it was the perfect time to finally photograph it. While it seems that this is more of a sunset location, I was still quite happy to photograph it for sunrise. The rocks along the shoreline and underneath the water are some of the most colorful I’ve ever seen and the glasslike stillness of the water allowed me to see them as if there was no water at all. Some of the smoke created some depth and layers within the mountains in the background that were intensified once the sun finally came up. Despite the clear skies, it was a rather perfect morning along the shores of one of the most beautiful and picturesque lakes I’ve ever visited.
