    I’ve photographed Mount Chocorua many times before, but each time seems to present a new emotion. Here the fall foliage is coming on strong and the early morning mist on this chilly autumn day rises above the still-warm waters of Chocorua Lake. Thin clouds hover above the broad shoulders of the mountain, almost appearing to be smoke emanating from the jagged peak.

    White Lake at Dawn

    White Lake is a small, picturesque lake near Tamworth, New Hampshire nestled at the southern edge of the White Mountains. It opens up dramatic views of Mount Chocorua and other peaks of the Sandwich Range, as can be seen in this image where early morning fog settles in the valley below the mountain.

    The lake was formed when Ice Age glaciers retreated, leaving a depression that filled with water. The shallow waters appear very clean against a light sandy bottom along most of the lake edge.
