AT,
Very cool; yes, that's the effect. Thanks!

Here are a couple from Desolation Lake in Humphreys Basin looking south toward Glacier Divide in the early morning.

And this one I posted in the Photothon last week. Classic infinity, poised over the Kern Trench...

Nice shots all! Here's one of Puppet Lake in August 2010:

here's one taken in the ionian basin...



oops, that was done on page 1 already...

here's a few miles away of the lake at the base of scylla. it drops down into the enchanted gorge and then up to charybdis...

that last one totally reminds me of a place an architect friend of mine showed me a while back - Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore:



that pool is 55 stories above ground

vandman: I'm trying to place where you got that shot; was it below the Red Spur, or further north. Regardless, it's an intriguing angle!

lostcoyote: looks to me like the Ionian shot I posted (from 2008) and yours were taken at almost identical times with respect to the snow melt. I wonder whether it looks like that every year?

fishmonger: there's a true infinity pool....

cg, it was last year in september. it looks evcen more like an infinity pool from the shoreline instead of where that shot was taken.

a really kewl infinity pool (which i do not have a picture of) is from the highest lake in lake basin right at the base of cartridge pass. if i find a picture of it online, i will update this post with the link.

cg: Vandman's "Kern trench" shot was taken from upper Crabtree Lake, just below Mt. Chamberlain.

Mike,
OK, for some reason I thought it was looking East, but since I could not fit any of the peaks into my mind's eye of what that ridgeline (Whitney, Russell, Barnard, Tyndall, Williamson, et al.) looks like, I was puzzled. Of course, I'm not having a whole lot better luck picking out who is who, but I'll work on it. Presumably, Kaweahs, Picket Guard etc are in the mix.
Thanks!
