Ocean and Laura at a turquoise alpine lake

A photo story

A lake in the Uinta Mountains

Laura and I grabbed this selfie in September 2024 above a turquoise alpine lake in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. It was a clear afternoon, around 54, with almost no wind.

This was the day before we went up Kings Peak, on a multi-day walk in Ashley National Forest. The water was that bright glacial blue, and we stopped long enough to get the photo.
