Two Shorelines
“Two Shorelines” — Shoreline trees, meadows, and rocks reflected in the water of a small subalpine Sierra lake.
Many of my photographs from this July backpack trip in the Eastern Sierra featured views of the large landscape — long and high mountain ridges, lakes backed by tall mountains, and so forth. This one focuses on closer subjects including the shoreline that I was standing on and the meadow and sparse forest on the other side of this small bay.
I made the photograph in the morning, at just about the end of this morning’s photography. The soft and warm light of early morning was fading away and the light was beginning to be more harsh. I was first interested in the little rocky outcropping just to the left of center, and I thought it would be interesting to juxtapose that with the further forest across the water.
