On a clear day like this one, the lake's classic colors are sandy tan close to shore, light blue-green farther out, and, beyond that, where the sailboats roam, rich blue all the way to the horizon.
Today is different, maybe because the wind is blowing out.
Perhaps without waves rolling and whitecapping toward the beach, more lake-bottom features come through. The shifts in color don't seem to line up with depth or distance from shore. Within a swath of deep blue within a few hundred yards of shore, there are patches of aqua-green. In a blue-green area near shore, there are irregular shapes that come close to black. On a day like this, those might be the shadows of clouds, but right now there are none in the sky.
