Description
Nestled in the heart of Glacier National Park, Wild Goose Island stands as a serene emblem amidst Saint Mary Lake, celebrated widely in films, television shows, and by some of the world’s most acclaimed photographers. Encircled by towering, snow-capped mountains, this iconic vista has inspired countless images.
With the challenge to match—and possibly transcend—the excellence of previous portrayals, I chose a less frequented viewpoint and arrived long before dawn. Through the quiet of early morning, I captured a sequence of shots spanning the sunrise. This culminated in a unique, time-blended composite that weaves together the most captivating elements of the morning’s light. The composition features verdant ferns in the foreground, the lake’s tranquil waters tinted with hues of purple and red from the sunrise, and the surrounding mountains aglow with early light that accentuates their stark red rock faces. Above, the sky transitions from vibrant red and orange to deep blue—a dynamic backdrop that breathes life into this timeless landscape.
