Glacier National Park, 2012

Landscape and Nature Photography from Glacier National Park, taken in August 2012.

Crepuscular Rays or "God Beams" at sunset near Appistoki Peak and Lower Two Medicine Lake, Glacier National Park, 2012.<br />
<br />
The certain knowledge that there was potential for a spectacular sunset helped me keep going as I struggled up a hill with my camera and tripod. I got set up just in time to capture some remarkable sunbeams cutting through the valley in front of Appistoki Peak. It was worth the climb!

$Streambed near Swiftcurrent Lake (Fluid Refraction). <br /> <br /> A woodland stream under dappled sunlight stopped me in my tracks, and inspired me to sit for a while and contemplate the quicksilver patterns of reflected and refracted light dancing over the colorful stones of the alluvial stream-bed. I was fascinated at how many things were at work in that little patch of sunlight -- optics, geology, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics. I couldn't help but be humbled at the complexity of our universe being displayed with such elegant beauty.$
