Emerald Bay Sunrise - a photo on Flickriver

            Summer scene, overlooking Fannette Island in the middle of Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay, on the California side of the lake.  Fannette Island was the home of Captain Dick "Them's my toes" Barter from 1863-1873. The eccentric captain had moved from England and built his own tomb and chapel on the island. He enjoyed sailing and earned his nickname from his penchant of showing his self-amputated toes to guests. Ironically, he was never interred in the chapel he built, as he died in a storm and his body was not found.

At a surface elevation of 6,225 ft (1,897 m), Lake Tahoe is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains along the border between California and Nevada.  Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America. Its depth is 1,645 ft (501 m), making it the United State's second-deepest (the deepest is Crater Lake in Oregon, being 300 ft (91 m) deeper, at 1,945 ft (593 m). Additionally, Lake Tahoe is listed as the 26th largest lake by volume in the world.   It is about 22 mi (35 km) long and 12 mi (19 km) wide and has 72 mi (116 km) of shoreline and a surface area of 191 square miles (490 km2).
