Clouded Mirrors - a photo on Flickriver

Clouded Mirrors

            Talapus Lake, Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Washington

Sometimes the fog obscures one's sense of time and place...sitting by this alpine lake in early summer, as the breeze swirled the clouds and mist, waiting to see if the fog would lift to reveal the mountains behind the lake (spoiler: it did not!), was one of those moments. With the motion of the surrounding fog, and the lack of visibility beyond what was directly in front of me, it felt like I was drifting through some surreal unknown, with only the fallen log upon which I was sitting to keep me tethered to the here and now.  

(Since it will be long winter hiking season, I'm trying to intersperse the snow photos with images from earlier hikes and travels that I have not had a chance to post yet.)
