Keep Tahoe Blue

Tahoe's nocturnal sense of blues comes out quite nicely under a near full moon. ;-)

Some fun facts about Lake Tahoe (info courtesy of League to Save Lake Tahoe, click to see more ( http://www.keeptahoeblue.org/facts/fun.php ) ):

How large is the lake?
Lake Tahoe is 22 miles long, 12 miles wide, and has 72 miles of shoreline. The surface area covers 191 square miles. Lake Tahoe's greatest depth of 1636 feet makes it the third deepest lake in North America and the tenth deepest in the world. Crater Lake in Oregon is 1930 feet deep and Great Slave Lake in Canada is 2010 feet deep. The bottom of the Lake is 92 feet below the level of Carson City, Nevada.

Why is it so blue?
Because of its purity and great depth, and the clarity of the atmosphere, all colors of the sky and landscape are reflected in Lake Tahoe. You can see why it is called the "Lake of the Sky", with its brilliant shades of blues, greens, and reds. Because it is so clear, the bottom adds shades to the blue; sand reflects as light blue, rock and deep canyons as virtually black.
