Guess the direction of the prevailing wind... ;) Lakes Basin, Sierra Nevada, California; Long Lake in the foreground. Looking more or less south. The insets show some other spectacular specimens in the vicinity.

Lakes Basin, Sierra Nevada, California. Long Lake in the foreground.

Looking southwest. Lakes Basin, Sierra Nevada, California.

In Lakes Basin, at the vague northern end of California's Sierra Nevada. Like most of these Sierra lakes, it's natural but its level has been raised by a small outlet dam, for water storage, probably in the early 20th century. The drowned snags most likely date from then. The lake level is higher than it's been in years due to the good water season. The inset on the left is a view southward, from a point above the shoreline; the right inset is the view north toward Mt. Elwell (the high point right of center).

Lakes Basin, Califonia, USA, at the very northern (and ill-defined) end of the Sierra Nevada. Looking north.

Sierra Nevada, California, at their very northern (and vague) end. The dam that raises the lake level is visible at extreme left. The lake is overall natural, tho. I thought the lightning-damaged tree was photogenic.
