This was taken after a very peaceful and memorable afternoon we spend at Bonsai Rock. As I was planning my trip to Lake Tahoe, I did a bit of reading and a lot of the photographers advices on spending time at the Bonsai Rock location and I decided to take their advice into consideration. When I looked up the location on google maps, it looked innocent enough and pretty close to the road. But when we reached the location we realized that even though the rock is pretty close to the road there is almost a sheer drop of about a 60-70 ft from the road to the lake shore. Add to the fact that the shoulder is made up of crumbling sand and rocks with no marked trails.

I was more worried about getting back from the shore to the rock in the dark so we decided to maybe avoid this location for this trip and comeback here maybe another time when we are better prepared. But at the hotel I stayed up late and researched the interwebs to figure out a better path to the shore and I finally found one and the next day we made it there around 5pm and spend some wonderful time enjoying this secluded location all to ourselves.

This is a shot of the beautiful bonsai rock location in Lake Tahoe. This was one of the hardest locations to reach but was well worth it as we were the only people at the location and I could take my pictures without anyone disturbing me and we got to watch a beautiful sunset. So all in all we had a productive day.

Thanks for visiting and have a nice day..

Another shot I took from the bonsai rock location. This one is a panorama shot stitched together from about 6 shots at 35mm focal length. I took this shot after the sun has gone down behind the mountains. The water was a little choppy and there was only little light. But I like the way it turned out.

Thanks for visiting have a nice day..

Since we moved to our So Cal residence over a year ago, I haven’t had a chance to see many impressive waterfalls except a couple in the Big Sur region. So during our trip to Lake Tahoe I made it a point to scout pout some waterfalls nearby and one of the most recommended one was Glen Alpine falls near the fallen leaf lake are in South Lake Tahoe.

It was bit tough to find the actual falls but once we found it we enjoyed this amazing falls with all its heavy water flow and roaring sounds. If you are visiting the area this is a must see.

Today's post is one f those images that slipped through from our last trip to Lake Tahoe. I made this one at the Bonsai rock location just as the sky cleared for a brief moment when the lake reflected back the blue skies with a crystal clear reflection.

Thanks for visiting, Have a nice day..
