Lake Tahoe Photo Spam



Here are a some random shots that I took while exploring around Lake Tahoe during the first week of January.  I have one thing to say, snow is hard to photograph (and look at).  I had heard the term snow blindness but god damn!  Shit's bright.  I forgot my sunglasses one day and suffered, I was walking around hissing and squinting like .... well like a vampire. No not this kind, more like this.  Any how, here is what I managed between my hissing fits and my moments of cold.  I didn't realize how cold it gets once the sun goes down in snowy weather.  Also after one slip on the ice I learned how to be nimble.  I ass-planted really hard and managed not to spill my beer or tea.  Don't judge me!  I was cold but wanted a beer so I thought having tea as well would balance me out.

Eagle Rock Trail

Eagle Rock is a newer trail on the west side of Lake Tahoe.  You can go to this link to see the trail when it is not covered in snow.  It was a bit slick due to the snow but it is an easy hike.  Our group, which was family only ranged from a three-year old to I assume 60'ish-year old.  I am still new to using my camera and I had to fight my gloves off and on frequently to take pictures for the hike.  So this is what you get.  Enjoy!  If you are in a hurry to see the panoramic view of the lake scroll down to the last image.

Alternate working title:  First Time Snowboarding
I hope you enjoy the few photos I was able to capture with my phone when I wasn't too busy falling or too cold to use my phone without dropping it.
