I've always wanted to go shoot Diamond Lake with Mt. Thielsen in the background, but never found the time or reason to go. So when Southern Oregon received some early season snow early this November, I felt like it was the right time to go.

This was intended to be more of test shot, but ended up loving the colors and composition more than anything I shot that chilly morning.

This image was taken on a Canon 5D mk3 with a Canon 16-35mm.
