High in the Eastern Sierras lies over 2,000 mountain lakes that are simply peaceful and full of tranquility, especially in the early hours of the day. Many of them are natural while others are the result of damming. Lake Sabrina, pictured above, was created in 1908 when the middle fork of Bishop Creek was dammed to supply a constant flow of water to hydraulic power plants. Whatever the reason, the lake is simply beautiful. Like many of the Eastern Sierra lakes, it is a magnet for fisherman. The lake is surrounded by the Sierra Mountains at an elevation of over 9,000 feet. There are numerous trails that make this a prime hiking spot. On this morning, the rising sun began to light up the opposite mountain across from where I stood. The water was as smooth as glass and the reflections of the boats and small island just jumped out to me. The silence allowed me to be one with the natural beauty in all of its glory.
