"Sapphirine Horizon"
Pyramid Lake is an idyllic oasis in a remote area of desert on the Paiute Reservation, about
thirty five miles northeast of Reno, Nevada. This endorheic (self-contained) salt lake is 350
feet at its deepest, with a surface that stretches 15 miles long and 11 miles wide.
Taken from the southeast side of the lake, this photograph beautifully captures the rich
sapphirine colors of a sunset preparing for an oncoming desert storm.
