California Photos Sunset, Lake Tahoe Previous Photo : Photo Index : Next Photo Summer in the High Sierra sees frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Whilst these can be quite frightening from an exposed ridge, by the early evening the rain stops and spectacular sunsets light up the remaining clouds. Here from the shores of Lake Tahoe, the sky reddens for half an hour after the sun dips behind the mountains. If you would like to use a photo, please write and ask. I almost always agree.
