Description
Blue hour at Antelope Lake in Plumas County, California, brought together an incredible combination of natural elements. An early June low-pressure system, an overnight storm rolling out, and the lakeโs warm waters meeting near-freezing air created a stunning display of mist and dramatic clouds. The setting Strawberry Moon and mirror-like reflections completed the perfect scene.
This image holds a special place among my favorite captures of 2020. It received an honorable mention in the 2020 Tokyo International Foto Awards (Nature category) and has earned numerous Fine Art America/Pixels contest wins. In 2023, it was the grand prize winner in the California Trout Photo Contest, and in 2024, it secured 2nd place in the Kolarivision Life in Another Light Contest.
