Piece description from the artist
Located on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park, Chasm Lake fills a deep cirque carved from the base of Mt. Meeker (13,911'), Longs Peak (14,259' and the highest point in the park), and Mt. Lady Washington (13,281'). The famous east-facing wall of Longs Peak known as "the diamond" rises 2,456' above this calm alpine lake which sits at 11,760'. Starting two hours before daybreak I made my way up the 4.2 miles to the lake mostly in the dark and arrived a little before sunrise and just in time to capture this image of the early morning summer light casting an orange glow on the peaks and surface of the water.

Known for their rich detail, bold compositions, and immersive quality Brian’s images invite viewers to step into the scene and experience it firsthand.
Inspired by the diverse natural and urban scenes of the American West, Brian’s photography spans the landscapes of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, the Pacific Coast, and a variety of National Parks.
