Light at Sunrise -- Lake Altus-Lugert, Oklahoma

Sunrise at Altus Reservoir (or Lake Altus-Lugert), OK
Looking up at one of the Twin Peaks, at Altus Reservoir
Can you see the dam?
"Altus Reservoir, with 6,260 acre surface acres and 49 miles of shoreline, impounds the North Fork of the Red River. The lake is surrounded by the stark beauty of rough granite hills and outcroppings--remnants of the Wichita Mountain Range whose peaks once stood over 20,000 feet tall."

Ice in the Punchbowl - Pearblossom, CA

Ice Ring - 7 March 2009
At the end of the Loop Trail hike at Devil's Punchbowl Natural Area, I found this ice ring that formed on the ground (I cannot remember in what) and I hung it up. I think the set-up turned out rather picturesque.
The rangers offer various activities at the Punchbowl, including monthly Full Moon evening hikes and a San Andreas Fault tour every Sunday at 1 pm.
