7. Early Autumn Transition (September)
Advertisement
Early fall brings one of Blue Lake's most striking changes as the terrain starts its amazing color change. The surrounding forest progressively changes from deep green to a gorgeous spectrum of reds, oranges, and golds at this time, reflecting the lake's surface. The fresh, pure air improves vision and provides ideal circumstances for landscape photography. Rising from the lake's surface, morning mists become increasingly common, giving the early hours an ethereal character and producing magical landscapes. While the air tempers cool, the water keeps most of its summer warmth, producing amazing steam effects around morning. As many species start to get ready for winter, wildlife activity picks up pace and presents great chances for nature study. Especially during golden hours, the sun's changing angle produces longer shadows and more dramatic lighting conditions. Hiking and outdoor exploration would be perfect this season as it also delivers consistent weather patterns with low precipitation. For photographers and nature lovers especially, this period is especially popular because of the mix of pleasant temperatures and breathtaking scenery.
