This shot was taken at the beautiful Sparks lake during our second road trip of Oregon. The first time we visited, I didn’t even know that this place existed and spend a couple of days in Bend visiting other more famous attractions around the area. On the last day we were leaving I noticed this Bend tourism poster with a beautiful lake on it and recognized the broken top mountain. I asked around and surprisingly few people knew about it. Finally, I met a fellow photographer who gave me the name of the lake and I made a point to include it as a must-have spot the next time we visited Oregon.
And three years later we were at the beautiful lakeshore of the stunning Sparks Lake. Unfortunately, my wife fell ill the day before and had a miserable morning at the park. I had to frantically look for a good spot while she rested up in the car. I found this spot which was a short stroll from the parking lot and took this panorama stitch image of warm morning light slowly filling on the mountainside. The water was perfectly still that morning and I got the almost perfect reflection.
