At Sylvan Lake in Custer State Park, the Black Hills feel both rugged and gentle — granite boulders stacked like ancient sculptures, dark water holding the sky, and a quiet trail that invites you to slow your pace. Ember Trail at Sylvan Lake captures one of those calm, wandering moments along the lakeside path, reimagined through color infrared.
In this spectrum, the familiar catches fire. Trees and grasses shift into deep amber and burning orange, glowing like embers scattered across the hillside, while a bold blue sky presses down against the stone. The path itself cuts a pale, winding line through the color — leading the eye forward along the shore, past boulder and water, deeper into a landscape that feels lit from within.
This print is a celebration of Sylvan Lake's quiet magic — where every bend in the trail reveals a new composition, and infrared turns a peaceful walk into something closer to a landscape remembering its own warmth.
Complimentary standard U.S. & Canada shipping is included. Each artwork is made to order and carefully prepared for its journey to you.
Printed to museum-quality standards, Ember Trail at Sylvan Lake is offered on Fine Art Matte Paper, chosen for its reflection-free surface and nuanced rendering of the granite boulders, dark water, and glowing infrared foliage. It is also available on Acrylic, which deepens the ember tones and gives the winding path and layered shoreline a luminous sense of dimension. Each finish was selected to honor the image's invitation to wander — a peaceful trail transformed into something radiant, warm, and just beyond the familiar.
If you would like a different size, finish, or framing option, contact Dan, and I'll help you customize the perfect piece for your space.
