Minarek Lake: Calling from the Sky (View in large)

Had a 4 day backpacking trip to Eastern Sierra, USA during 30 October

- 3 November 2013. Our destination was Minaret Lake. Due to a two day

snowfall prior to our trip, the access roads to the trailhead towards

the Minaret Lake at Devils Postpile were closed. Consequently, we had

to hike 16 miles (26 km) for two whole days to get there.

Winter Eastern Sierra was a place where one can experience the true

wilderness. In a cold winter night at Minaret Lake, I witnessed such a

beauty invoked by a calling from the sky. Thanks for viewing this image.

What an amazing shot. We are glad your photography was so successful after the effort of reaching this place.

Amazing sky, reflexion of beautiful mountains in a lake, snow... everything to make a great image. Well done!

Regards,

Alain

Very nice photo worthy of your effort.

I'd love to see some EXIF data in Details or hear from you about your process.

Excellent one with the stars overhead.  Best Regards,

very good composition and amazing mood. well done!

Yan, did you blend images to get some detail in the foreground? It is a striking image, but it's too bad The Milky Way isn't reflected as it looks in the sky.
