The Gift of Time: Adventures!: Tenaya Lake in October

A 1/1 photograph created by Burnish: Tenaya Lake, an alpine lake in Yosemite's high country at an elevation of 8,150 feeet. This image was created in October 2022 as part of my "Gift of Time" collection of adventures. @ToniPayne was one of the collectors of my "Snacks Edition", which funded my road trip snacks and acted as a raffle entry, and she won the raffle for this 1/1 photograph.

I took a month off my dayjob in October 2022 and embarked on photographic adventures. Some were chosen by collectors, and others I funded myself (including this trip to Yosemite).

Tenaya Lake is an incredible clear blue lake at an altitude very uncomfortable for a person who lives at sea level. The water is cold and doesn't contain fish or other creatures, and my legs almost went numb when I waded out to create this image close to the shore.
