Emerald Bay Silhouette
Lake Tahoe, California

The young and old tree standing side by side looking over Emerald Bay was inspiring. The sunrise reflections on the bay made a beautiful backdrop for this silhouette image.

Lake Tahoe

The breathtakingly blue of Lake Tahoe is so clear that in some places objects can be seen to depths of 75 feet. The reason the lake is so blue is that the thin, clear mountain air allows the lake's pure, crystalline water to reflect the blue sky above. The lake can also appear red during sunsets or gray-black during storms. Lake Tahoe is 22 miles in length, 12 miles in width and has a max depth of 1,645 feet!
