Evergreen Lake sits in the foothills west of Denver, Colorado at roughly 7,000 feet, surrounded by ponderosa pine and rocky hillsides. In summer it’s a quiet spot for paddling and lakeside walks. In winter, once the ice is thick enough, it turns into a community gathering place for skating and ice fishing.
What drew me to this frame is the contrast between the bright red and the muted, frozen world around it. Two red ice-fishing shelters sit out on the ice, with a few people gathered around them setting up their chairs and gear. People not only adapt to the weather conditions but also find means to seek entertainment and adventure.
