A winter hike out at Busch Wildlife. Lakes all frozen with lots of ice fisherman out on them.

Lake 11 at Busch Wildlife is one of my favorite spots on calm evenings for sunset photos.

The few nice days in the middle of winter bring beautiful, unique sunsets on Mark Twain Lake.

As the sun dips below the horizon on Mark Twain Lake, a breathtaking spectacle unfolds, painting the sky with hues of fiery orange, vibrant pink, and deep purple. The reflections on the water’s surface mirror this celestial display, creating an illusion of fireworks exploding across the tranquil lake. Streaks of light shoot across the sky like shooting stars, while the clouds ignite with color, resembling bursts of vibrant blooms. This natural firework show is a symphony of light and color, a perfect ending to a day spent enjoying the beauty of Mark Twain Lake.
