JMT DAY 19 - PALISADE LAKES IN MOONLIGHT
Palisade Lakes in moonlight
Because we arrived at Palisade Lakes quite late, pitching our tents was late. And then, gathering huge logs and stones and building a wall around my tent to block the wind took longer. Because my camp was made late, I didn’t have time to have dinner before sunset.
So, when I was done capturing the sunset, my dinner was late. By the time when I headed back out to the lake to capture the night sky, it looked like someone turned on the light switch in the dark room.
The moon that rose high up in the sky shed its wonderful, almost deceivingly daylight like, moonlight on anything under the heavenly body. Middle Palisade (14,012 ft) brooded like a champ while the lake reflected the cool peak in the water. Mt. Bolton Brown (13,538 ft) and its ridge line created a beautiful silhouette.
It was windy and yet the water near me wasn’t disturbed. In fact, it was so calm and clear that the bottom of the lake looked like only my knee deep.
