I couldn’t just drive by this old hotel in Lake Tahoe. It caught my eye. On one hand, it looks nice and cozy and well stocked with wood for the winter. On the other, it looks old fashioned and empty. I decided to extend the old fashioned look and take some artistic liberties with the processing of the photo. Hope you like it!
I had a great weekend. I spent one day back country skiing on a peak called Round Top in the Sierras with a great group of friends. I spent the next day skiing at a resort. There wasn’t much new snow which is uncharacteristic for this time of year around here, but the hike, view and overall experience were amazing. This was one of my favorite views from the hike. It was taken from the top of Round Top just before we began our descent. The true Kirkwood fans out there will recognize the backside of the resort in the right third of the image.
Not today anyway. The snow was too good where I was without hiking to go for these lines, but they sure did look pretty from down below.
This is my lucky 200th post! Why is it lucky? It is because if I’m lucky, by posting a picture of snow for such a milestone for my blog, I will get more snow in Tahoe! Happy 200th post to me!
This was taken on one of those amazing days at Squaw Valley. The cloud level kept rising and falling. Sometimes we were in the clouds, sometimes they were just above us and everything seemed perfectly clear.
I’ve been having a little bit of split personality between summer and winter posts recently, but such is my life. I’ve learned to live with it and I hope you can too! I’ve also shown this lighthouse before, but I like this particular angle too. It was a calm cool morning and the lake was very still. It almost made me forget that my fingers were freezing as I took this!
This small tree was trying to grow out of a huge piece of granite. It looks like it will have a pretty hard life ahead of it. The sky was overcast and snowy, allowing me to shoot straight into the sun and still capture the scene.
A view from under the Sundail Bridge. This overcast day made for some great shots of the bridge with the sky in the background. The soft light made the green colored floor of the bridge light up when looking at it from underneath!
I took this shot while skiing at Powder Mountain in Utah. Obviously there was some fresh snow to be had on this blue bird day!
The Forestville Dam in Wisconsin on a cool winter day. In case you couldn’t tell that this is a dam, there is a large sign to inform you. Probably much more helpful for when people are on the water in the summer. Even in the winter, I think the sign made the scene more interesting.
I thought the angle of these tiny flower buds in the vase made them look like they were reaching out for something.
