Mother Nature's Ultimate Infinity Pool
Most folks think that infinity pools are a recently invented feature found exclusively at exotic high-end resorts.
But this photo proves that Mother Nature was, in fact, the originator of the whole concept.
Heart Lake is a diminutive alpine tarn in northern California that offers amazing reflections of nearby Mt Shasta.
It's surprising to me that this isn't as popular among landscape photographers as more famous spots like Mesa Arch, Maroon Bells, Tunnel View, Antelope Canyon, or Zion's Watchman Bridge.
But it's not. And that means you won't face a scrum with a dozen other shutterbugs lined up tripod-to-tripod at sunset.
Cheers!
