This is another print that is denied the possibility of fair appreciation in reproductions. The rough forms, of course, are visible in copies of this image, but not the clarity of the air and the water at 8,000 feet, nor the brilliance of the white line that is the shore at the back of the lake, nor the cloud reflections in the still, glossy water, nor all the natural debris in the sand under the water.
