#alpine lakes

Gistova Dragon Lake, Greece by farawarfarers. 

At first glance, this looks like a picture of some mountains. However, if you look closer, you'll see a weird shape in the upper right of the sky. That's because it's not the mountains you see, but their reflection in a pristine, clear, mountain lake. Flip your phone around and you'll see the actual mountains, their reflection in the water and the edge of the kayak in the bottom left. Amazing.

Finding peace where the earth meets the sky. A quiet constellation of alpine lakes cradled deep within the mountain ridges, reflecting the endless blue above. 🏔️💙

Summer can’t get any better than this

Same lake, two different views, 5 years apart. Central cascades, 2018 & 2022.

A very delicate Alpine habitat with spongy grass and moss clinging to granite sand and rock. I tried not to walk on the grass. Wampum Lake, Western Pinnacles Lakes Basin, John Muir Wilderness, Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, USA. Photo by Van Miller
