Tahoe Ridge Moonrise

The moon rises over a ridge of snow-covered pines overlooking Lake Tahoe (Nevada side). This winter has brought copious amounts of snow to the Lake Tahoe area, and the pines on north-facing slopes/ridges, such as the one pictured here, are holding their snow nicely. As I was driving along highway 28, which traverses the north and east sides of Lake Tahoe, I noticed the moon rising over this ridge. I pulled over, got out my Canon SX60, set it to full optical zoom (65X--equivalent to 1,365mm), and snapped this photo (then converted to black & white later).
