Lake Alder is the first among many lakes we got to see at the base of Mt Rainier. Engineers in US have this strange habit of constructing dams for lakes in hilly terrains to effectively harvest rain water at a much larger scale than we plan to do by collecting water from terrace drains ;).
Here is how the one on Alder looks like....
The lakes do not tolerate this inhuman (or shud i say human ?) oppression imposed on them and decide to vent out their frustration by waging an invasion on the poor and helpless flora neighboring them, like the barbaric invader Alauddin Khilji, who beheaded the beautiful harmless idols at Belur.
The result is here for you to see...
Yet another lake on the way....this time serene and peaceful without a dam
