Two years ago I reached the Tower Lake an hour after the sunrise during the larch season. But, with the overcast sky I was not able get the picture I hoped for. This year I was a km away and I could see the first light hitting the top of the tower, it was getting through the clouds and the lingering fire smoke east of me. But, the direct light was gone by the time I reached the lake. I set up the equipment on the tripod and moved to the location I wanted to take the picture from, with the hope the light was going return. I wanted for the light to not only hit the mountain, but also the larch trees with their golden needles below the tower. The light did arrive, but thanks to the clouds the light only touched the top of the mountain and the ground to light up the larch trees. Providing my first larch picture for the season.
