@ambivalena Yes, Emerald Bay is the jewel of Tahoe. I've paddled my kayak into it & explored that tiny island. On Fannettee island, Lora Knight had a tea house built. The ruins are still there. On the shore, under a big waterfall, Knight had Vikingsholm built in 1929. It is built with local materials but the architecture is Scandinavian. It's hard to get a photo of both Vikingsholm and Eagle Falls because the mansion is buried in the trees. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikingsholm

Fantastic images, I especially liked the last one on the island with the calm water aroung it. Read about Lora too on wiki, a very special lady i presume. Thanks for the images and to have learned something new :)
@ambivalena Well, she was certainly a rich lady. Here's a couple more photos. The one of Fannette Island is just before the sun lit it up. The clouds were thicker so it kind of makes the island look like it is floating in the sky, I think. Then two of Eagle Falls which tumbles down just behind Vikingsholm and into Emerald Bay. Sadly, it really isn't possible to get a good photo of the waterfall.
