Convict Lake

Convict Lake in the foothills of the Eastern Sierra at 7,850 feet provided some interesting light for this photographer.

I had an idea of the image I wanted and drove up during the early evening to take a look around.

Despite the lake, things are pretty dry in the Eastern Sierra as we head into year four of the drought...
