This picture was taken on January first 2008 at 2:49 pm when me and my family were on vacation in Lake Tahoe. This picture was actually taken when the car was in motion from an inside point of view from the car window. The picture is basically the lake with the reflections of the sun hitting the water. In the background you can just see the snow on the mountains. It wasn't a very cold day at lake Tahoe; only around 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The sun was very bright but the light in the image was not all sun; there was actually a mix of the flash from the camera and sun rays that reflected on the car window which is why there's a huge reflection in the picture.
