Manzanita Lake Snow and Sun

The roads and trails close during the winter in Mount Lassen Volcanic National Park. But, if you'd like to snowshoe, cross-country ski, or walk the trails, you are welcome to do so. When I arrived at Manzanita Lake during the first week in January, the small parking lot contained two other cars. I knew it would be a great day to enjoy the snow and sun at the lake while being surrounded in nature.

Utilizing long exposures helped to slow down the movement of the water.Intimate landscapes with a telephoto lens captured the ice, snow, and trees on the side of the sleeping volcano.
