Before the Magic
Channel Lake, Desolation Wilderness, Ca.
This is Channel Lake about 30 minutes before sunset (magic). See the sunset version here. The late afternoon heat drove in these clouds and I couldn't even wait till sunset to shoot them. It was easily into the mid 70's (maybe close to 80) most of the day in Desolation Valley. Not ideal backpacking weather but definitely nice for photography!
