5Horse & aSheep

This is the hill-top view if the San Joaquin Valley from Jackson CA. This sheep seemed to want to hang out with the horses. The sun was just starting to set and was a beautiful warm orange. This place is along lower hwy 88 looking north. Jackson is in Amador county and it has a lot to offer. Just a short drive to many lakes which I can post images of. A short drive to Tahoe (see my other posts), Hope Valley, Daffodil Hill, Jackson Rancheria and Casino, Kennedy Mine and Sutter Gold Mine. More at www.studio18gallery.com

Emerald Bay Lake Tahoe

Emerald Bay Lake Tahoe

In 1969, Emerald Bay was designated a National Natural Landmark for its brilliant panorama of mountain-building processes and glacier carved granite.

The natural beauty, geology and history of this unique island make it one of the highlights of any visit to the Lake Tahoe area.

The park features Vikingsholm, one of the finest examples of Scandinavian architecture in the western hemisphere. The "Tea House" on Fannette Island, the only island to be found in all of Lake Tahoe.

Emerald Bay was designated an underwater state park in 1994. It is the resting place for many boats, launches and barges used in the lake before the turn of the century, during the heyday of Emerald Bay Resort and used in the construction of Vikingsholm.

North Shore Lake Tahoe

North Shore Lake Tahoe

This is a beach on North Shore Lake Tahoe. Wonderful rock formations and the beaches are not quite fine sand they are almost like aquarium gravel size pebbles. I would say that straight across to the South Shore would be Emerald Bay.
