Emerald Bay in Winter
Lake Tahoe, California
Emerald Bay continues to draw me in both summer and winter. The Bay and Fannette Island, surrounded by snow-covered granite peaks, lay still in this icy sunset.
Order PrintsLake 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!
