Rae Lakes Painted Lady Reflection

Painted Lady peak and cumulus clouds are reflected in the still surface of Rae Lakes in the High Sierra.

Rae Lakes Basin is one of my favorite places in the Sierra Nevada, and I've been trying to get this shot of Painted Lady with a perfect reflection for years. This morning, the wind was calm and the sky was clear, making for a perfect reflection of the peak and the cumulus clouds.
