Palette+Place: Sunsets at Lake Tahoe

This New Year in Lake Tahoe, California we were treated to quite a show. Night after night we were dazzled with pure visual entertainment. Jaw dropping colors magically changed before our eyes and in a matter of minutes it was over. No this wasn’t some marketing stunt put on by a glitzy casino, or a laser light show at the local high school, this was just Nature doing her stuff.

With 4 decades of trips to Lake Tahoe, and a 2 year stint living there, I’m convinced Lake Tahoe sunsets are some of the best in the world. Night after night the sun dips behind the Sierras and the sky lights up. Oranges, yellows, pinks and purples set the night on fire. The reflection in the lake only doubles the experience.

This past New Year we were treated to this nightly show. Each sunset a little different than the last, and all spectacular.

So, if you are in need of a little fix from Nature, be sure to visit Lake Tahoe. She surely won’t disappoint!
