Emerald Bay Crepuscular Rays

I encountered many interesting cloud formations in the Sierras this weekend, but this sunrise over Emerald Bay was my favorite! Waves of pink and orange in the sky were reflected in the clear waters of South Lake Tahoe; the presence of crepuscular rays made setting the alarm at 4am to capture sunrise totally worth the loss of sleep. A beautiful morning spent in one of the most beautiful places on earth!
