I lived in the Lake Tahoe area for 10 years, and had never taken a photo. Talk about missing your own backyard! On a visit back to the area, my husband was spending the day working in the office of his old job, so I decided to take a drive around the lake and see what kind of shots I could get. 150 shots and 6 hours later, this one has remained my favorite. Even though it does not show the Lake in her glory, it does capture the beautiful blue water she is famous for. Hope you enjoy!

Living proof that less is more! You got lovely contrasts in shapes, texture and colour in this. I don't think showing the whole of the lake would have been as effective.

This is very well framed by the trees and the blue is stunning!

You're right. The water is very pretty in this shot. And as has been said, the framing sets it off nicely.

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
