A couple sits closely together on large granite boulders along the shoreline of Lake Tahoe, both wearing matching red Mammut fleece jackets. The man, wearing glasses, wraps his arm around the woman who leans her head affectionately against him while wearing a grey knit beanie. The HDR-processed image reveals dramatic winter skies with a sun breaking through heavy clouds, while snow patches dot the rocky shore in the foreground. Pine-covered hillsides with snow dusting line the far shore of the deep blue-grey lake, creating a classic Sierra Nevada winter tableau. The image has a painterly, high-dynamic-range quality characteristic of early HDR photography.
