I was traveling around Lassen Volcanic National Park for a few days, and each day I went back to this spot because it would look drastically different throughout the day and I was captivated by it. First I took all the photos with my GoPro, but when I saw the lake this time it was so calm and simple and I wanted a smoother shot and thought I would use my DSLR.
