Lake McDonald—the place where I truly realized my deep love for photography. The crystal-clear water reflecting the peaceful surroundings, paired with the sun setting behind the towering mountains, created a moment of pure tranquility. It was easy to forget the numerous "Beware of Bear" signs along the trail as the serenity of the lake took over. This scene perfectly captured the essence of why I find photography so fulfilling—moments like these that are both peaceful and powerful.
