Description

Donner Lake, just after sunrise. It's no wonder that there was a gold rush in this region; even the lake bottom seems to be lined with gold.

This is the reason why Wiltshire men from Devizes are called 'Moonrakers'. Legend has it that a few hundred years ago a group of men out on the town under a full moon, came accross the reflection in a pond and fetched hay rakes to drag this ball of gold out of the water. This is a nice shot.

Cool photo Marilyn...reminds me of... All that 'glisters' isn't gold...hmmmmm, not often does one get to quote Shakespeare on Rendo:) "All that glisters is not gold; Often have you heard that told: Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold: Gilded tombs do worms enfold. Had you been as wise as bold, Young in limbs, in judgement old Your answer had not been inscroll'd Fare you well, your suit is cold." Merchant of Venice

Doesn't natural light do wonders for the rocks on the bottom of the lake. The early bird gets the best shot. Dana

Who needs gold when you've got THIS! I mean, like...WOW! This is an amazing shot; enough to that I slipped into surfer-dude-speak...a rare, but fun occurrence. You have such a great focus on all of the details here...those pebbles, those tiny little waves...everything. This is amazingly beautiful.
