The last day of our trip to Eastern Sierra, our group leader Dave Wyman woke us up at 6 in the morning to go to the Twin Lake. It is one of the many lakes formed by damming the tributaries feeding into the Mono Lake. It was very cold, very dark and very early. For us, the Unforeseeable and Unexpected was when the sun finally came up, we were greeted with an Unbelievable and Unforgettable scenery. 
As you can see from the photograph, the sun bathed the mountains closer to the lake in a golden light, further away, the snow-capped mountain also lighted up, both of them reflected in the calm lake surface. The water was so clear that you could see the pebbles underneath, and in the distance, a multicolor shimmering just appeared.
Here Dave Wyman was talking to two other group members. It is a reflection from the lake and I inverted it a 180-degree.
Now the sun came up more and we can see the opposite side of the lake, and the shimmering turned to golden color. Unquestionably, it is one of the most amazing scenery we have seen during the trip.
This is the way how to use a vintage Leica. Our other leader Ken Rockwell was shown here photographing the snow-capped mountain on the other side of the lake. He hung his backpack on the tripod in order to further stabilized it and pointed his hand-held light meter toward the scene. For me, it is Unbelievably difficult but I bet he would have Unsurpassed quality of the image on film.To see more entries of ABC Wednesday click here.

Wow. Those are Unbelievably beautiful photos! Especially that second one. I would most definitely frame that one, it's stunning!
Now I want to go there! With my camera - my real DSLR, tripod, extra lenses, hand held light meter ... and in my case, all the manuals to go with them. LOL!

Beautiful mountain scene. I like the one with the sun, shadows and rocks. Thanks.
Dave (Nosebleed) Wyman here - I should have commented on these photographs earlier. They are, as others have said, beautiful.
Even though I've been to the same place you depict - even though I stood nextd to you - I am seeing it through your eyes, and you see very, very well.
