Description
Last Wednesday while the rest of the gang was snowboarding, I just wandered around the area taking fotos. My son lives right across the road from Donner Lake, so I got out and walked along the shore for a while. It was WINDY, probably 30-40 mph, which in turn made the temperature about 30 degrees!! This usually flat lake had waves of about 2 feet, and you can see the white caps!! This is looking north, still snow on that shore, but on the south side where I was walking, it was sunny, with just a few patches of snow in the sheltered spots. A beautiful place to visit, but~~~~nope I wouldn't want to live there in the winter!!!

Very choppy so I can imagine the wind factor. Looks like a nice place for a stroll, but as you say, not in the winter.

Might be great for windsurfing though, they like it like that here. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!

Icy cold and choppy but if you were brave enough, this is a great time to sink some bait for bass on the bottom trying to keep warm. And if there are trout in there, same goes for them. I just never have been able to withstand the winds. A very expressive shot.

Choppy waves permeate the lake in this cool shot, Marilyn. Brrrr, I can imagine the chill factor! Fine panoramic view of Donner Lake, evidently named after the unfortunate party of pioneers who met a most undesirable fate in and around Donner Pass.

A beautiful capture, it's amazing how one side can be sunny and the other snowy but in Texas I did see it raining once on one side of the street and sunny on the other for just a few minutes,.
