Boca Reservoir Sunset


Boca Reservoir Sunset, originally uploaded by Jeff Sullivan.

I’m back in the Tahoe area preparing for my next trip. In addition to Lake tahoe, there are several reservoirs in the area that provide opportunities to catch reflections when you have an interesting sunrise or sunset. This is sunset at Boca Reservoir in the Tahoe National Forest near Truckee, California.

Sometimes the patterns in the reflections of the sunset are as interesting as the sunset itself.

Even after the light fades past the point of catching competent landscape images, you can still squeeze in a dimly lit “I am here” shot!
