The Beacon
by Harry Lichtman
A unique sunrise over Swiftcurrent Lake in Glacier National Park only illuminated Grinnell Point. The clouds obscured the sun, and the sky lost its color before the valley was bathed in the warm light. For several minutes, the lone peak shone brilliantly. It was one of the more breath-taking moments during my years of landscape photography.
Equipment: Canon 5D MarkII, Canon 17-40L, 2 stop Grad ND filter

Such a magnificent view. And, as we turn around 80 degrees, we shall see the bejeweled gates of heaven and also see the streets of gold.
Within the walls… Haplpy Valentines’s Day.
