Lake Blanche and a smoky sunset

Did a trail run to Lake Blanche....well it's steep so sometimes it was only a brisk walk The trail head is in Big Cottonwood Canyon out of Salt Lake. It was about a 3.2 miles to the lake. The start is at about 6150 feet, the lake is at 8920 feet.

From the lake you can walk up on the big rock slabs to overlook the valley, it also leads to 2 other lakes just below this one.

Sunset from Lake Blanche by kevin83202, on Flickr

The sunset colors in these were caused by smoke from a fire in the valley.

Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

Thanks Ando and Paul. Here is another that is not HDR (although I increased the shadows in Lightroom) I think I like this one better. What do you think?

I like this better than the (HDR) first one.
