Eagle Lake, Desolation Wilderness, CA
Everywhere you go there is an image to be made. As we walk through the world, we miss so much. We move from point A to point B and focus on the destination. We miss so much along the way. I like to stop and listen, look around and absorb all that is around me. Some would say that is a distraction from the goal. I would say that that is part of the goal. The destination is just as important as the journey.
I don’t know about you but I have so many stories of events that occurred during the journey. Everything from flat tires, unexpected pit stops, amazing conversations that started in the back seat. Even the vehicle that i’ve travelled in is part of the story.
The above image is a shoreline of an amazing lake near Lake Tahoe. This lake is on the way to some amazing destinations within Desolation Wilderness. I make a point to stop at this lake every chance I get, no matter the destination, if it is anywhere near. I soak up its’ beauty. I’ve made so many images of it but this one is my favorite. Something about the granite, the color of the water, the curve of the shore and the reflections of sunlight. Every time I am there I notice something different.
So take the time to look around, soak it all in, be an observer on the way to wherever you may be going. You never know what you might notice or capture in that amazing moment.
Until Tomorrow,
John
