This was taken on a misty early morning, during the first year of the lowest lake levels in decades, at the beginning of the recent “ draught years “, that were exceptional then. Yet now, draughts have apparently become unfortunately more of the norm.
If you look close, my favorite parts of this image are in the lower reflection of the ridge line where you can clearly see the reverse image of the lift tower, and ski chairlifts, of Mt. Judah Express at the Sugar Bowl Ski Resort. Also, the large triple power lines stretching up the mountain on the left have a subtle, ghostly glow. Fortunately, lake levels have returned to normal, but regretfully, will probably occur again if mother nature so decides.
