You can see the burn line from the Tahoe fire about five-ish years back. My cousin said after that is when they started putting fire hydrants along all the streets. You'll driving along a back road lined with trees and all of the sudden there's a red hydrant .
I lied in the previous post. That in the background is the real summit. My cousin says there's a flag up there so you know you're at the top. It's probably surrounded by dead hikers.
Reminds me of one of Friedrich's blasted trees.
The summit.
So many awesome tree portrait possibilities. It would have been a great painting experience, minus the bush-wacking trailblazing my cousin and I did getting to the top.
A lonely rock.
A speed boat constantly drives up and down the lake ferrying people from the parking lot to the lake houses.
I went to Lake Tahoe to do some hiking and landscape paintings (see http://tonyweinstock.blogspot.com/2010/09/tahoe-paintingssept-01-to-sept-12-2010.html and earlier), but this was from the hiking-only part of my stay.
