One of my old favorites from your gallery! I wasn't too happy with my own captures from this place. Hard to work during such limited time with a boat waiting. We didn't have snow on the mountains in the background either, and that really makes your capture so beautiful! Wonderful, and I'm sure we'll see this among the winners next month! #8693922JO ANN CLEVELAND June 14, 2010
