A photo story

An alpine lake in the Sierra

Late July 2023 on the Mount Whitney trail, the morning before my summit day. The sun was blasting over the granite and a patch of snow was still sitting right at the edge of this clear green lake. I stopped here and just stared for a bit. It was in the upper 40s, mostly clear, with a light breeze.

I don't have a name I'm sure of for this lake, so I'll leave it unnamed. The next morning I went to the summit.
