Lake McDonald (and all of Glacier Park) are among my favorite places on the face of the earth. I have dozens of photos of that same view of the northern end of the lake and the beginning of Going-To-The-Sun highway.

The linked article explains that "the light at right is car headlights. At left is light pollution from Lake McDonald Lodge."
