Donner Lake Summit and Turkey Vulture

[Canyon Hiker]

This was luck. This Turkey Vulture flew in the shot and i didn't realize it until now. There are many of them along the Sierra's..Its better off that its not sharp..one word describes them best..UGLY. I took many shots of this scene.
I was at 7k feet. The lake below is Donner lake at 6k feet. I was 1.3 miles from the lake to give you some perspective. Tons of history here with spectacular views. Named after the famous "Donner Party".
I Took hundreds of pictures today..(almost 1k from sunup to sundown) through this stretch of the Sierras. I'll post em as I sort threw them. Thanks for any critiques as always.
