While not a large lake, Silver Lake offers some fine water reflections.  The Sierra Nevada Mountains dominate high over the Lake to help block the wind.

The June Lake Loop Road is a fine place to base-camp with hotels, cabin rentals and camping.  Not far away is Lee Vining and Mono Lake.

Postscript:  Ahha!  I inverted the image; meaning the water reflection is at the top of the image....

Hi Ray,
I like this vertical perspective that features the Aspens in their natural beauty in unusal light and colors.  Good idea well done.  Gerald

That dark blue background to the white birch trees and the reflection.. and I felt in the trap and did not recognize that soon that you inverted this one. The small blur of the top part of the trees is not too obvious and that blue is astonishing. Now I accept that framing more (for a not inverted one I would have chosen more from below which is here sky) as necessary for the puzzle. Nice job, Ray.

Hi Ray
A nice Fall shot that is well composed, The horizon line is at the bottom third catching just enough of the reflections.

Hi Ray,
I love the way the reflection is almost more 'real' than reality.  Still the blue sky in the reality makes a great backdrop for the aspen.  We do seem to go to the same places!!  I love June Lake Loop too.

Hi Ray,
very nice image, that mirror effect here is lovely, looks almost like an oil painting! A colorful image, just how I like it :D

Take care
Mark

Hello Ray,  Stunning reflections. As someone else commented, one has to be observant to realize the water is there.  I was through there two years ago and ended up staying in Bishop which I believe is south of the June Lake area.  Love the birches.  There are truly photogenic and you have done a great job capturing their setting here. The blue sky one sees between the trees is excellent, considering you did not use a polarizing filter.  Look forward to seeing more of this area.  Regards,  Roger

Hello Ray,
Very nice, very moody photo archives. Are these trees are alder? Alders grow around the lake in my Strykowo. I like these trees growing in a wetland area - a beautiful shade the edges of giving shelter from the hot summer sun.
I look at your picture and I really do not know where the reflected image, and where the real image. Calm surface of water did not even wrinkles and it works here as a perfect mirror.
A beautiful section of the magnificent autumn landscape.
Very good colors, excellent sharpness and an amazing breakdown of the frame.

Hi Ray,

cool reflection you got here - it almost looks like you did a clone on the bottom! ;-)  Wonderful colors too and a beautiful sky.

Nice shot!

Have a great weekend and see you around,
Linda

Hi, Ray -

A most unusual shot. You have to look twice to realize it's the reflections of trees in the water, since you don't really see water at all.

Best,
Dan
