Avalanche Pass Lake

This lake lies in a narrow pass between two mountains, which is famous for its avalanches. The hiking trail through the pass had been obliterated by a mass of avalanche-toppled trees. Much of this driftwood piled up on the lakeshore is no doubt from earlier avalanches.

The odd shapes and lines of the wood, blending into an eerily thick fog, gives this photograph an unusual mood.

Photographed May 2006, Adirondack Mountains, NY.
