It's a winter afternoon on Lake Wenatchee and Emerald Island in the Washington Cascades. The fading light casts a blue hue on a serene scene, A massive storm hit the mountains only a few days earlier dumping feet of fresh snow blanketing the lakeshore. Kids played on the beach earlier that day and created small iceberg like sculptures that land themselves to a nice foreground. Multicolored stones line the bottom of the lake. They are clearly visible in the icy water — no polarizer filter necessary. This wonderland is only 2 hours west of Seattle on Highway 2, and a favorite place.
