A calm lake at sunset is framed by shoreline logs, low shrubs, and leafy trees in the foreground. The water is smooth with faint ripples reflecting warm orange and pale gold light from the sky. Near the center of the lake, a small boat appears as a dark silhouette, drifting quietly across the water. Beyond the lake, a large mountain rises in soft blue and purple tones, with layered ridgelines fading into the distance. The sky transitions from warm orange near the horizon to lighter pastel tones higher up, with no harsh clouds or dramatic contrast. The overall scene feels quiet, spacious, and peaceful, evoking a sense of stillness and reflection.

Last Light

A quiet evening settles in as the light fades behind the ridge. A lone boat drifts across the lake.

This spot is a little hidden, with a wide view. It’s one of my favorite places at Lake Wenatchee.

A calm sunrise scene at Lake Wenatchee, Washington in 2023. The glassy surface of the lake creates a perfect mirror reflection of the mountain ridge, pink and gold clouds, and surrounding tree line. The foreground reveals the rocky lake bottom beneath the clear water, while the horizon glows with soft pastel hues of dawn. The stillness of the water makes the sky and mountain appear seamlessly doubled, producing a striking symmetrical composition.

Sunrise colors doing their magic.

A sunrise view of Lake Wenatchee in Washington, with the mountain on the far shore bathed in warm golden light. The rugged slopes, streaked with trees and ridges, rise sharply against a pale morning sky. The calm surface of the lake creates a nearly perfect reflection of the mountain, with softened ripples adding texture to the mirrored image. A dark green tree line separates the mountain from the water, grounding the composition in deep forest tones.

Sunset over Lake Wenatchee in WA state

I'm a sucker for a sunset and this was a tricky one to capture at Lake Wenatchee in WA. I wanted a long exposure for the water to smooth out ripples, too bright for the sky, so a bit of blending was required. #sunset #sunsetlovers #photo #photography #nature #shoreline #sunset #lakewenatchee

A peaceful sunset scene at Lake Wenatchee in Washington, with the silhouette of a tall mountain rising against a sky that fades from warm orange near the horizon into soft lavender and pale blue above. The still waters of the lake shimmer with reflections of the fading light, while a small canoe with two figures glides across the surface in the distance. In the foreground, driftwood and leafy shrubs line the rocky shoreline, with trees on either side framing the view. The mood is serene and timeless, capturing the quiet beauty of the Pacific Northwest at dusk.

Warm hues blending into cool twilight blues.

Morning light spills across Lake Wenatchee, turning the water into a mirror so clear you can see every stone below.

A cedar waxwing in the Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest. There was a family of them, with fledglings, but they were too evasive to capture together. Was lucky to get this one 🪶

The beautiful Lake Wenatchee never disappoints! It tends to be very windy since it's in a valley but regardless I managed to snag perfect weather there. 🙏🌲👌

Lake Wenatchee was a vibe. Clear skies, calm water, no crowds – low-key perfect.

I Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus) bat is hanging upside-down from a tree branch with its wings outstretched. The bat is partially occluded by other branches in the foreground.

Captured at Hidden Lake near #LakeWenatchee in WA state. I believe this is a Little Brown #Myotis (Myotis lucifugus) #bat. They fly in circular and/or zig-zag patterns at the edge of forests and water to catch insects, which is exactly what this one was doing when I saw it!

An image of Lake Wenatchee at sunset. The sun hovers just above the mountains, casting vivid orange and yellow rays above the rippled waves of the lake.

“The stars and a moon
Aren't where they're supposed to be
For the strange electric light
It falls so close to me
Love, I come to ride
High on that seasick rolling wave”
