Description
Yesterday's upload pictured Diablo Dam high in the Cascade Mountains. This is the view from the other side of the same dam showing the unusual color of the water in the dam's reservoir...Diablo Lake.
...The unique, intense turquoise hue of the lake's water is attributed to the surrounding glaciers that grind rocks into a fine powder that is carried into the lake through creeks. That fine powder stays suspended in the lake, giving the water its brilliant color.

now that is definitly a very interessting color and a fine shot, Bill, and thanks for letting us know how it comes to pass :)
Very beautiful
Excellent image Hugs Susan~
Absolutely gorgeous scenery, Bill! The colour of the water is most beautiful and ever so calming! I really like this! A breath of fresh air!
excellent shot, I've seen water that color in Alaska near glaciers. Very beautiul composition
A stunning capture of this lake and its green water is quite intense isn't it. A great sight.
I love the arches and lamp posts along the top of the dam. It's those little decorative details that make this dam something out of the ordinary. Terrific shot!
Everything about this is so unusual to these unravelled eyes!
This to me is very beautiful Bill.
Lovely Bill, and it's a treat to see the snow up there too. I haven't seen it for years.
Splendid shot!
another beauty Bill on a large scale
Wow, what a gorgeous scene! That colour is brilliant, and I'm with Tara, the dam details are lovely; and of course the forested and snowy peaks behind! Great capture, Bill!
great shot
DOH! I expected to see you cooking soup for RR, man !!! SHAME :) No, this is a wonderful view and capture :)
A spectacular shot, Bill - Wow! And that is the greenest water I've ever seen! Fascinating!
Great to see it from a different angle, the water colour is amazing. x
It is amazing. Thanks. 5+!
Nice shot Bill, but I can't say much about the color of the water.
lovely
Stunning. Nature has a way of being gaudy and tasteful all at once. If humans tried this, it would be...tragic, but Nature does it and pulls it off. I love the POV in this and the mountains in the background give such a nice contrast to the almost table-like sense of the water.
Great capture of this beautiful area Bill!! Outstanding!!
Love the color of the lakes in North Cascades NP!
