StoryI made this photograph during a long stay at Lake Tahoe in the summer of 2006. These green waters along the shoreline make Lake Tahoe famous, but are very difficult to photograph. I most cases, any outdoor landscape photography is made during the "golden hour", an hour around sunrise, and then again at sunset. But here the mountains to the east block the rising sun, and the sun needs to be located high over the water to bring out the deep green color. I scouted and scouted along the shoreline between Sand Harbor State Park and Incline Village, looking for the perfect composition. It was quite hard to find, and then one has to ready later in the morning before the light is too harsh across the lake.
