Nathaniel Wise, a nomadic photographer currently living life along the Pacific Northwest region of the US, captured these alluring photos of the Diablo Lake Overlook in Washington’s North Cascades National Park.
“It’s a striking blue/green color due to the glacial runoff from the surrounding peaks,” Wise explains to My Modern Met, “and one of the most vibrant lakes I’ve ever witnessed.” Using his Nikon D800, his approach to the composition was unconventional. “Most people opt to go wide and capture the entire scene (and rightfully so, it’s gorgeous),” he says, “but I enjoyed a telephoto approach, isolating the small sections of beauty around me.”
The lake may be named Diablo Lake, but it's surely a heavenly sight to behold.
