I have a few mountain pictures.
There are a lot of mountains in California and Nevada. I liked the way the mountains were shaded by the clouds.
Last Monday we went to Donner Pass in the mountains in California. There is a lake. It is not far from Lake Tahoe. Donner Pass is where those pioneer people in the 1800’s were going to California and got stuck in a snow storm and could not get out for the winter. They ended up eating like 40 people to stay alive. We camped in our trailer. I kept waiting to see or hear ghosts, but I didn’t.
We did drive over to Lake Tahoe. I could not take any pictures there because it was so crowded with people and houses. It is up high in the mountains too. This is a picture of Donner Lake.
There are a lot of big rocks up at Donner Pass. My son loved to climb on them. I can see why the pioneers had a hard time trying to get over the pass with those big rocks all over.
It did get cold at night. It was nice and warm during the day though. The sign on the water said the water was very cold, but I saw people swimming in the water.
In the background, you can see this train. (Click picture to make it big). It was chugging up the mountain very slow because it was steep. That is my son on another big rock. Big pine trees grow all over the mountain. I love going up to the mountains.

As usual lovely pictures. I’ve never really been up a mountain – just hills that used to be mountains.

The mountains around here are really high. It makes you sleepy.

Incredible pictures! I hadn’t realized there was a Donner Lake. A few years ago I read a book called Desperate Passage about the Donner party. Chilling book but so well told. Such a sad event to occur in all that beauty.
Funny that you didn’t see or hear signs of ghosts. Maybe they only come out in winter.
Thanks so much for sharing these photos.

I will have to read that book. The museum was closed when I went. I did get a picture of the Donner statue. I will put it up next.

Those poor pioneers, gosh they had it tough, although the film “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” does make it look almost . . . .fun!

I love the first photo, how you captured the shadows on the mountains — the long view, too. Nice work. I love the Tetons, too!

Thankyou, I am always looking at mountains and when shadows hit them, they look more 3D.
