Convict Lake Sunrise, Sierra Nevada 10-19

(1 in a multiple picture album)

Convict Lake, named for a gun battle between a posse and jail escapees, is always a stop for me when I am up in the Sierra Nevada.

Nearby Mt. Morrison is named for a lawman killed in that battle.

I've been there at every season, but never at sunrise. On this trip I braved the cold and stood in the dark waiting for the new day's rays to hit Laurel Mountain. Finally the Golden Hour color began to creep down the peak and I snapped this shot.
