Peaks of Tonnay
Lake Tonnay, in color a cold blue with an interplay of green, is at Montrieux, near Geneva, and its peaks have all the sublime majesty of the snowy peaks of our High Sierras. Along the deep declivities of these noble mountains the snow glows, in the morning light, in tender pinkish grays against shadows as coldly blue and green as Lake Tonnay itself. The more luxurious greens of the pines around the lake carry out the color harmonies of an unusually impressive composition.
