This is Clear Lake - the largest natural lake in California. So they say. It looks pretty but is far from clear and quite polluted by mercury deposits from the old mercury mines close by.
Under less favourable light conditions and from above it looks like this:

It is quite a beautiful shot but so sad it has been ruined so that it can't be enjoyed.
There does seem to be an air of desolation about your mono. A good image.
WOW ..
They are both beautiful captures.The first one is very pritty in b&w.
Nice shot. Too bad the lake is poluted.
:-(
The b & W made it look almost like mercury. Nice composition.
Both photos are beautiful. Shame the lake is poluted.
What a shame about the lake. Your photo is lovely - I really like the posts and the reflections.
(I like the misty pastel look of the colour photo, too)
Great shots both!
Both are gorgeous pictures!
So sad, that the lake is poluted.
Hmmm. The largest natural lake in California is polluted - a state that NEEDS water. Humans can be so smart!
Very nice photo, though. ;-)
