A Windy Donner Lake Today

Got out for a quick cross-country ski today, for some exercise. It was an incredibly windy day at the lake, the water splashing on the boulders was looking nice so I decided to get out the camera and take a few photos. The wind was blowing the water droplets onto the front of my lens, and my lens cloth became rather wet, fairly quickly, so I didn't get to take that many photos. But one "keeper" was good enough for me. I was pretty happy with it!

It's the US. In California. Shot with a 24-105 mm lens, so I was able to zoom in a bit and not worry about getting wet. Glad you like that sight!

Thank you! Many photos were taken and only two were looking good. This one was the better of the two.

Thank you @steven-patrick!!! It was an incredibly beautiful day. Even though the wind was a bit much... At least it made for a nice photo.

The photo shows crashing waves and I could see a little bit of snow on the rocks over there. Did I mention the contrasting colours of the skies, white and blue. Very beautiful.

I love the water splashing on the boulder, the sprinkles of snow on the mountain and the serenity that's always a part of Nature.
Beautiful photos.

The water hitting the stones and splashing creates a truly captivating view. You've captured an amazing picture.
