Lake Alpine I

This photograph taken on a warm July dawn in '04. The lake was 'discovered' by us in the 1980s and is located near Bear Valley and my parent's house in the Sierra Nevadas. It is 2,227 meters above sea level, and cut off from the world for a good part of the year due to snow and the closure of route 4. The rocks warm up during the summer day and provide an ideal spot for sunning. The lake offers a good swim across too, with beautiful views in all directions.
