Before seeing this lake in N Cascades National Park, I never thought water could reach this color of bright blue in real life. I've said something similar about crater lake, but that's a vivid deep blue. Even with the orange glow of the sunset (from wildfires) above, the water reflects bright blue. Sadly, I didn't get to see it in the afternoon as I was rushing like a nutcase just to make here before nightfall. *New Ryder photo in comments #beautiful #blue #wildfires
@openshutter21 This image is amazing. Forest fires have a silver lining of orange skies. I've witnessed it myself during the Mammoth fires. Beauty and destruction in juxtaposition.
@openshutter21 Absolutely magnificent picture. Thank you for sharing with us.
@openshutter21 Amazing shot. Looks like water color painting. Your work is amazing James. Love it.
@openshutter21 Looks like the Kenai river in AK
@openshutter21 Indians called Tahoe the "lake in the sky".
