A plain gray day didn't hold much promise for a good sunset on my first visit to this unique lake in the shadow of the Sierra. So I was caught off guard when the sky suddenly transformed into glorious color. I panicked for a moment before composing the big obvious shot right in front of me. And just as quickly as the color developed, the sky faded into night.
