On the long trek from Giant Forest over Kaweah Gap the trail passes Precipice Lake...The Lake was partially frozen and snowbanks rested in the recesses of the cliffs. I was impressed with the solemn beauty of the scene and saw the image quite clearly in my mind. Many speak of the image as abstract, but I was not conscious of any such definition at the time...For photographic compositions I think in terms of creating configurations out of chaos, rather than following any conventional rules of composition.

John Szarkowski, the influential Photography Director at MoMA, New York from 1962 to 1991, considered this early image to be one of the finest of Adams' career.
