I should not give away the name of this lake, our hostess for both nights we backpacked. Especially since a friend recommended this place. I will say that it's a woman's name that previously, I would never have thought to give to a daughter, if I ever have one. But, after this experience, I would reconsider. (OK, it's Middle Velma Lake.)

This is a stitch of three photos that overlap about 15%, then were, digitally meshed with each other using Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor). You can tell it's three separate photos by looking at the borders -- seeing the curvature of the lens in each. My coworker Lew discovered this program and we have used it for our site photos. We do photomonitoring at our restoration sites for a visual depiction of the sites' progression over time. Taking a picture of the same site, from the exact same perspective over the years can yield staggering results.
This was shot at dusk. I got out the tripod and braved the mosquitoes, with every possible piece of my skin covered as protection against them. My merino wool biking gloves that I brought in case of cold nights were essential.
