mmechtley:
Snow!
mmechtley:
Fannette Island in Emerald Bay
mmechtley:
Shaded parts of the path were still quite snowy!
mmechtley:
Pretty steep path going down from the road to the lake shore
mmechtley:
Apparently the benches don't get used much when it's snowy!
mmechtley:
Lots of little rivulets delivering snowmelt down to the lake
mmechtley:
The shore of Emerald Bay
mmechtley:
The water was insanely clear
mmechtley:
The lake bottom is all sand -- this photo is actually through about 6 inches of water
mmechtley:
We ate lunch on a little dock, this was the water below
mmechtley:
A few fallen trees submerged in the water
mmechtley:
A tour boat came fairly close, but the water level was too low for them to dock
mmechtley:
Cool hand-made map of the area
mmechtley:
Side of the Vikingsholm building
mmechtley:
Tree in the center of the Vikingsholm compound
mmechtley:
Vikingsholm architecture -- who wants to start a commune?
mmechtley:
Well outside the Vikingsholm
mmechtley:
Park office, closed for the season
mmechtley:
Cool Norse architectural elements
mmechtley:
The north-facing slopes were still covered evenly in snow
mmechtley:
This fallen tree had a segment cut from the middle to clear the path
mmechtley:
Canadian geese near another dock
mmechtley:
Floating dock -- the water level must change significantly with season
mmechtley:
The mouth of Emerald Bay, where it opens to the rest of the lake
mmechtley:
Looking back toward Fannette Island from the dock
mmechtley:
The geese were pretty tame, we assumed they wanted food
mmechtley:
We told them to take their sense of entitlement and fuck off!
mmechtley:
Some combination of polarization and CCD saturation caused the overexposed snow in this picture to look pink. Weird effect, but kind of cool I guess.
mmechtley:
Tons of giant conifer trees
