Breathtaking Emerald Bay is a shining jewel found on the south shore of famous Lake Tahoe, California. This tranquil inlet of sparkling water is steeped in history. Legendary Vikingsholm Castle sits formidably below the tree line, and a small, crumbling 1920s-era stone house gracefully ages on Fannette Island.

This photograph captures a brief moment at sunset, just as a spring storm was beginning to brew over the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
