Description

This is the east end of Donner Lake, and yes, that IS snow you see. The first day I got there, not only was there more snow, it was still frozen about 5 feet or so from the shore. The wind came up and broke it up overnight, but that water is COLD!!!

I think Donner Lake is so pretty and the town is quaint. But I'm with you...snow on the beach is not for me.

I'm like Mick in that I have never sen snow on a beach, apart from the beach at the local lake. I tend to stay away from the seaside in winter though, I have to travel over fifty miles to get to the nearest proper beach. Also as Mick says, an interesting shot Marilyn. Bravo!!!!! We're boring us English, we all think the same. Lol.

Quite alarming! Unlike Jeff it takes me only 10 minutes maximum to get to the beach, and I do go down all weathers with the dogs. But SNOW! I don't recall ever seeing it down there.

Just perfect for the annual Arctic Plunge...lol...yea, they do that every year here in the Susquehanna River. I'd rather have it with about 85 degrees and just sand.

Just so you know, this IS on a lake, Donner Lake in the Sierras of California. If it were snow at the ocean, I'd be REALLY worried!!

And, like mickuk50, this is a new sight for me also. I've always associated the beach with warmer elements: hot sand, warm water, etc. In any event, nice POV, contrasts and textural effects in this shot, Marilyn.

Yup - I would expect snow there! It's about 6,000 feet above sea level, in the mountains, and it's cooooooolllllllddddd up there! I'll stay down here where it's warm, thanks! :)
