Description
I grabbed this image on a January evening stroll on the north shore of Eagle Lake, just a few miles from the community of Spalding. Back when there was more water here, it was a great fishing spot known as "Heart Failure." I've never been 100% sure where it gets its name, but I've always assumed it had something to do with the steep grade ending in a tight turn on the country road (Lassen County A1) leading to it, which can be fairly spooky when it ices up. Back then (2020), the fishing season was closed anyway, and the weather had been mild, so the lake only had a bit of ice on it—which I thought looked pretty nice under the pastel skies that appeared when our little star dipped below the horizon.

This is absolutely stunning! The pastel hues reflecting off the icy lake create such a peaceful, almost otherworldly vibe. The smooth transition of colors and the mirror-like water make this a scene you could get lost in. A beautifully captured moment of nature’s quiet magic!
