Woodbridge Snow View 1

Woodbridge Snow View 1 on Flickr.

Today’s flashback from my archives for Flickr’s Twitter Tuesday theme: Lake.

Woodbridge Lake is an artificial lake in Irvine, California, surrounded by suburbs. On this occasion in 2008, the mountains in the distance were covered with snow – highly unusual since they’re all less than a mile high! Normally, the two highest peaks in this range, known collectively as Saddleback, get a light dusting once or twice each winter, but that year an unusual snowstorm covered the entire range.
