Granite spires rise from Sylvan Lake in South Dakota's Black Hills, their weathered faces catching first light while pine and still water hold a perfect mirror below. Captured at dawn, when the wind had not yet found the lake, this image is a study in symmetry — the ancient rock formations doubled in glassy water, with barely a ripple to break the illusion. This print captures the stillness that makes it worth the early wake-up call.
