Images of Lake Isabelle & Indian Peaks Wilderness Colorado
Here you will find sunrise images of Lake Isabelle & Indian Peaks Wilderness Colorado. This morning the wind were fairly strong so we decided to find a more sheltered are to capture these images. These photographs were taken from an outlet stream just below Lake Isabelle in the Brainard Lake recreation area. As the sun rose in the east, the light painted the clouds above in a pastel pink and purple. The muted tones of the dawn light quickly gave way dappled light revealing the beautiful white clouds above. This stunning alpine valley is framed by Navajo (13,409′), Apache (13,441′) and Shoshoni (12,967′) peaks. The Indian Peaks Wilderness encompasses more than 76,000 acres of pristine mountain wilderness immediately south of Rocky Mountain National Park. These photos of the Indian Peaks Wilderness from the outlet stream below Lake Isabelle were taken on July 27, 2019 between 5:40am and 6:58am.

Motion Graphic Video of Colorado’s Lake Isabelle and Indian Peaks Wilderness
This video animation of the Indian Peaks Wilderness and the outlet stream below Lake Isabelle was created using special software. This motion graphic software utilizes a still photograph and creates animated vectors within the image file. The resulting video file is called a Plotagraph. This is similar to a Cinemagraph but uses one still image vs. using native video footage to create the final result.
