This shot of the incomparable Sparks Lake is arguably my favorite shot from our summer road trip to Oregon. When you compare all the little spots in the US which we have explored Bend, OR has to be right up there on the top of the list as one of the most interesting little towns for a photographer. A short drive to the west will find you in the foothills of the Cascade Range and within hiking distances of many Alpine lakes while a drive east will provide access to desert wonders like Fort Rock and painted hills.
I made this shot at the beautiful Sparks Lake, which is an easily accessible lake with camping facilities and all around stunning view of the South Sister (visible in this image) along with Broken Top and Mt Bachelor. This shot was taken about 30 minutes after sunrise when the warm morning light started to filter in through the caved part of Broken Top. I was really glad I stuck around for this shot.
