Shadow Lake and Minarets

This photograph shows Shadow lake with the minarets in the background. The John Muir Trail is on the far side of this lake. Rosalie Lake is to the far left of the photo, after the sharp climb. Seen in a distance are the Minarets mountain range.

August at Convict Lake is usually crowded, but this morning the water was still and the mountains were perfectly mirrored. The light was soft and even, illuminating the granite peaks and the dense forest along the shoreline. I waited for the breeze to die down completely before making this image.
