Snow on Lava

Snow on Lava

Image No. IDCM0101: Snow on Lava.  Oct. 2, 2017.  Nikon D750, 24-120mm lens @ 75mm, f/19, 1/15 sec., ISO 200.  Image specs: 4812 × 2971 pixels, 14.1 MB.

I woke up before dawn at my campsite in Craters of the Moon National Monument near Arco, Idaho, and it was snowing lightly.  I immediately thought that the white dusting would dress up the dark lava beds nicely, so I drove to the nearest turnout on the loop road, grabbed my tripod and camera gear and wandered around the area.  This was the last scene I shot at sunrise.
