Turquoise Lake
Uploaded: September 04, 2014 14:54:37 | Entered: September 04, 2014 14:54:37
This lake is just outside of Leadville, Colorado (upper right). It was named after the semi-precious stone that was mined in the area in the 1930's. The lake is at ~10,000 feet above sea level. I was at around 12,000' when I took this snap.
70mm, 1/500, f8, ISO 200
