Go West XIX - Protean Element

Boulder and Reflection, Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Like Proteus the shape-shifting sea god of Greek mythology, water is an ever changing element. This life-sustaining source can be tumultuous like a tsunami, soft and vaporous like a cloud, or tranquil like a perfectly polished mirror.



 Tranquility is the case in this vignette from Rocky Mountain National Park... a distant mountain peak and forested slope are reflected in the clear blue waters which take the shape of Bear Lake.
