My Birthday at Echo Lake

I always enjoyed being at Echo on any day, but especially my birthday. I used to invite all my friends up, but in the last few years, I've enjoyed just hanging out with my family up there. I had a peaceful and enjoyable time with Eric and my family.

As we left, I wanted a picture of the setting sun on the water, so I stuck my camera ou the window, way above my head, and starting snapping pictures in the general direction. When I reviewed the pictures later, I found this incredible shot. I couldn't believe how great it was. I love that you can see some people watching a guy swim after swinging on the rope (presumably)...look at it large.
