October 7,2013 Oquaga Lake, Deposit, NY. Liking a perfect autumn sunset over a lake is easy to understand. It's a pristine,spring fed, crater lake, which is unusual for lakes, because it sits at the top of the mountain. Oquaga Lake also sits on top of the Marcellus Shale, the very spot where fracking may contaminate the waters. I took the pic, at my moms lake house, hoping it's not the last time we take a pic of this beautiful lake before fracking gets a green light.
