This is the first time in six years I haven't spent the entire fall at Lake Tahoe. After two early snow storms I just had to get out of Houston. Too late to get a cheap fare, even on Southwest, so I used a frequent flier award.
Flying into Reno I was told I would need chains to go over either of the passes to the lake. Lucky for me, driving restrictions were lifted just before I got to the top of Mt. Rose at 8,900' elevation.
It was still snowing and cloudy on the south side of the lake, making it look like a Currier & Ives Christmas card. It got even better when the clouds cleared overnight to reveal light from the full moon reflecting off the snow covered mountains. The moon set mid-morning the next day against a clear blue sky. As the sun melted the snow off the pines and rooftops it seemed to be raining from a cloudless sky.

I love the first shot of Lake Tahoe with the Moon. The setting is perfect.
It's an area I love. Your comments composed a scene that I could see winding around the curves of Mt Rose Highway, over the summit and the breathtaking scenery under the full moon. It's a time to comtemplate what God hath wrought.
More pictures, please!!
The pictures are beautiful, tell us about the camera? Not so keen on snow but the skies are beautiful.
