Shoreline Rocks, Skyblue Lake. Sierra Nevada, California. August 7, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

I made this photograph on a recent two-week backpack trip through an area near Mt. Whitney. Skyblue Lake sits below Crabtree Pass, a cross-country route we crossed later on this day. I originally imagined this as a color image, but was not happy with the result after the trip. I returned to the photo recently and after working on it more have decided that I like it as a black and white photograph.
