Trillium Lake Symmetry and Mount Hood Morning Vapor

Wide 16:9 editorial landscape photograph of Mount Hood reflected in Trillium Lake, Oregon, just after sunrise. The conical volcano, blanketed in pristine snow and glacier ice, is lit by soft peach morning light, contrasting against the deep blue-green of the surrounding Douglas fir forest. A thin ribbon of vapor skims across the glass-like water surface, gently softening but not breaking the crisp symmetrical reflection of the peak. Along the foreground shallows, weathered cedar logs and submerged aquatic moss create natural leading lines into the center. Low wind velocity preserves reflection integrity, captured with deep depth of field and crisp, natural tones.
