Almost exactly a year ago I had ventured off to this same location because I thought the sun was supposed to come up right behind this little island. I was ill equipped with a 18-135 lens, trying to capture this. And while it almost worked, my framing and composition weren’t great. This morning when I returned with a plan, and the right lens for the job I was between relieved and disappointed. The sun never pierced the thick layers of fog, the side light, and illuminated mist never came to pass. I would of stayed longer than I had to see if things would work out in my favor, but three hours was enough for me. Out of all the shots I snapped this morning, this ended up being my favorite of the bunch.

There can be beauty to be seen in natural decay.
The fallen and falling trees have accepted their fate.
It seems to me that the little spit of land must have been bigger in the past to have once supported what looks like the remains of a fairly big tree compared to its companions on this little island.

You're right about it having been bigger. This is a basin at the top of a mountain that was flooded, I'm not sure of the depth at the little island, but the lakes maximum depth is 300', I would put the base of this little island at between 80 and 150 feet, possibly more since its actually rather close to the dam itself.
