A new sunrise spot
Looking northeast from the point at Pine Cove, near Frisco, Colorado.
SUMMIT COUNTY — Feeling adventurous in springtime, I ventured to some new territory to check out the sunrise yesterday morning. The area around the Peak One Campground and Pine Cove is quiet this time of year — campers haven’t arrived yet, so locals are using the opportunity to run their dogs along the access road. The shoreline has a lot of character, with calm coves, and the sharp point that juts out into the reservoir still is wearing a deep mantle of drifted snow from the winter, not to mention a cap of conglomerated columnar frazil ice at the tip.
I was looking for a strong diagonal line to give this still scene a bit of life and I think I found it.

From this spot, I was looking straight across the reservoir at the beach along the Dillon Dam Road, where I usually go to take my morning walk and photos.

Stillness prevails.
