Beautiful Lake Tahoe Snow View
A pretty view of the moon rising at Lake Tahoe during July 2004. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the United States and the tenth deepest in the world, with a maximum depth measured at 1,645 ft (501 m), average depth of 1,000 ft (305 m). The Lake Tahoe Basin was formed by geologic block (normal) faulting about 2 to 3 million years ago. A geologic block fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust causing blocks of land to move up or down. Snow, rain, and streams filled the southern and lowest part of the basin, forming the ancestral Lake Tahoe. Modern Lake Tahoe was shaped and landscaped by the scouring glaciers during the Ice Age. Many streams flow into Lake Tahoe, but the lake is drained only by the Truckee River, which flows northeast through Reno and into Pyramid Lake in Nevada.

Lake Tahoe - Moon Rising
A scenic picture taken of Spirit Lake which is located right by Mount St. Helens which is in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington. This picture is taken looking in the opposite direction of Mount St. Helens towards Mt. Rainier which you can see the tip of over the hill in the right corner. Spirit Lake is situated across the blast path of Mount St Helens and is one of the enduring features of the devastation of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. Floating over the surface of the water is a forest of destroyed trees. Just over two decades after the eruption, Spirit Lake has seen drastic changes. Once, it used to be a recreational outpost for children and adults of all ages. Now, due to the floating forest and other factors, the lake has become a tourist attraction that remains evidence of the Mount St. Helens eruption. Spirit Lake was once part of an ideal picture-postcard setting, with Spirit Lake in foreground and snowcapped Mt. Saint Helens as a backdrop. The scene at Spirit Lake changed dramatically on May 18, 1980, when the Mt. Saint Helens volcano erupted after being dormant for 123 years, sending a deep blanket of ash upon the lake and destroying the beautiful scene.

A scenic picture taken of a boat floating in Don Pedro Reservoir near the historic town of Jacksonville, California. Nestled in the Sierra-Nevada foothills east of Modesto, California, Don Pedro Reservoir/Lake is the sixth-largest body of water in California. When full, the reservoir is 26-miles-long, has a capacity of more than two million acre-feet and 160 miles of shoreline. The reservoir and dam were built with multiple benefits in mind: water storage, power generation, flood control and recreation.
