Let me take you on a beautiful walk to a small lake which has no name (other than maybe No Name Lake). It’s a while since I went up there. The first time was in June 2017, when the lake was still completely frozen and I couldn’t get anywhere near it for the surrounding snow. I went back again in the October and managed to get some ‘reflection’ shots, so I was hoping to capture something similar this time.
As you will see from some of the later images, the terrain gets a little barren and rocky at the higher altitudes, (the lake is at exactly 2,900m or 9,514ft), but I was pleased to find quite a few ‘different’ flowers around to photograph. If my identification is correct, the White-leaved Adenostyle (in pic 14) is quite a rare find.
I saw around a dozen other walkers on the way there, but all of them were heading for the Pas de Chèvres. So, after turning away north from that path, I had the upper valley and lake all to myself. It was so peaceful, (if not calm, due to a light breeze), I thought I’d take a video for you to enjoy… 😊 (See end of this post).
