There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar,
I love not man less, but Nature more
--Lord Byron
I'd spend my birthday here too! ;) My photo would be from lower down the side of that mountain though which would probably mean I'd get one tree if lucky. Pretty shot!
I have been there many times. A very unique place with this lake being a tidal saltwater lake with huge Pacific Salmon runs passing through every year. Great Work.
