DescriptionPhotograph of a mountain lake in New Mexico. In the foreground you can see a body of water. On the shore starts lots of pine trees that vary in size and length. They are going around the water and up a hillside and get taller as the hill elevates. The trees that go around the lake are reflecting onto the water making some parts of the water look darker and deeper than the others. These trees are visible all the way from the left to the right of the photograph. Behind the trees to the left you can see a sort of rocky trail leading through them. At the bottom left of the frame there are tall, skinny plants with dead flowers and very few leaves. They stretch up until the middle of the photo. The sky is clear, but you can see a mountain in the very far distance, past the lake and trees.
