Breathtaking. It must be wonderful to be there, and watch the light play across the water and the mountains. It’s interesting to see the differences between the two photos, but both are beautiful. Are you using a wide-angle lens? However you did it, you certainly seem to have captured some of the spirit of the place.

The lake has many moods and some beautiful scenes.
Both photos were taken at 10mm with a 10 – 30mm lens that I am really getting to like!

I had to stop and take a few pictures. It was on the way to the grocery store.

I bet it can get pretty choppy on a lake that size if it’s a windy day.

Yes, it certainly can. The folks who use the lake pay pretty close attention to the weather forecasts, especially about winds.

I know on our bigger lakes it’s easy for a small boat to get into trouble when the wind comes up. Sometimes it happens faster than they can get back to the safety of the shore.

Gosh, that’s almost the size of a small county in the UK! Beautiful place, and I love the shadows on those far hills.

It’s a big lake and the mountains make it very scenic. Also a very good lake for fishing and recreation.

Superb scenery and image.
I just wish I had the health (and money 🙂 ) to travel.
I think Montana has made it to my Bucket Lister since I’ve been following your blog, Terry.

I was born and raised here, so naturally I think it’s beautiful, but I’ve lived in other places in the U.S. too and sill like it here best. I know you would love to see some of it!

Maybe I should just think bigger more vivid dreams and they might come true. Some have. But seriously, I think I might need the heart wall & valve operation first. I’m getter slower and more breathless out and about these days.

Look like a beautiful area to explore by canoe, except when the wind picks up!

I can’t recall ever seeing a canoe on the lake. It can be treacherous when the wind suddenly picks up.

There is a lot of blue in this landscape. In winter the mountains, from a distance, turn a different shade of blue.

Hi Montucky, There certainly is something to be said about the gorgeous alpine lakes that do not have any Alligators! I think about every body of fresh water in Florida is home to at least one Alligator. Your lakes are really beautiful and have clean clear water for the most part. Have a great weekend and enjoy your beautiful mountains and lakes!

I would love to see gators once in awhile, but mostly prefer less challenging watering holes! Right now I’m happy to still see open water. One of the high lakes that I’ve visited recently was nearly frozen over already.

This part of the country really brightens up when the sky is clear, especially in winter. We are starting to get a flow of arctic air and it is extremely clear and cold. Now if we can get some snow it will be really pretty!

Most of it stays open but some of the bays will freeze over. Most of the lakes here do, but this one is just too big.
