Travel Thursday: Clear Lake, CA
Located north of Napa and the Wine Country, Clear Lake is California's largest freshwater lake. All the usual activities associated with water are found here: boating, fishing, swimming, concerts at Konocti Harbor, meth labs, drowning... but really, it's mostly a nice place to camp and fish and such. There are a number of towns surrounding the lake, like Kelseyville, Lakeport, Lucerne, Finley and Nice. During the summer it's usually crowded with tourists and campers, but in the winter the lodging is cheap and the tourists few. These shots were all taken on a drizzly day in early January at various points around the lake.

just really lovely. thank you.
You're welcome, and thank you!
I believe I may have posted at least one of these shots on this site before.
You MUST have known we're headed to Clear Lake for the weekend. Not Italy but at least away.
Hope to catch some big fish.
Thanks!
Nice shots. I don't recognize any reruns, though.
Speaking of lakes, the ice is finally off our lake as of yesterday. That's important!
Very nice. There's a particular kind of melancholy unique to off-season resorts, and you capture that in these. Some of them remind me of the shots of the mothballed Corleone compound at the beginning of Godfather III.
Ravioli, I didn't know, but I'm happy to be your enabler. (And to be honest, I refrained from posting pictures of Florence this week because... well, you know.)
Happy to hear that spring is on the way for you, ahab.
Tom, here's a tip for you: Don't go fishing with Fredo!
More to the point, don't go fishing with Al Neri.
