I am here at
Lake Tahoe
and there is magic
at 6,000 feet.
...Frederick Lenz
On the sandy shore of Lake Tahoe, California. It was such a great day!
Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, straddling the border of California and Nevada.
Lake Tahoe is a place of sublime beauty that inspires awe in even the most jaded of travelers. Mark Twain described the dazzling expanse of shimmering blue waters as "the fairest picture the whole earth affords."
Surrounded by pristine pine forests and snowcapped mountain peaks, the lake's brilliant topaz color is attributed to its depth of nearly 1640 feet and its crystalline quality comes from the purest source of melted snow. Lake Tahoe spans 22 miles from north to south and 12 miles across.
A native of this state and sadly, yet to ever get up to Tahoe - I'm so appreciative of your beautiful captures from here - you're sharing the natural beauty of Mother Nature, perfectly.
