Painted Lady and Middle Rae Lake

Painted Lady Peak and the Middle Rae Lake.

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.
