Figure 1. St. Mary Lake, Glacier National Park.
St. Mary Lake is the second largest lake in Glacier National Park, next to Lake McDonald. Historically Lake McDonald was more accessible in the late 19th century. However, St. Mary Lake with the Wild Goose Island gives one of the iconic images of the park.
One day when I passed St. Mary Lake near Rising Sun Motor Inn in early morning, the storm was just clearing. Even so, some iconic peaks at this area such as Split Mountain and Divide Mountain were still hidden. Fortunately, I managed to get to a spot with good composition and lighting.
This is not a traditional St. Mary Lake shot with majestic peaks in the background. It gives a soft feeling of this lake and it works for me.
