The story behind this image

The end of a long day admiring the beaty of God's creation in the Rocky Mountain National Park found Liz and myself by the side of Sprague Lake about an hour after sunset.

The waters were perfectly still, reflecting the mountains and stars, while Orion the hunter rose in the east to being its nightly traverse.

A wonderful time in a wonderful place.
