Overview toward the east showing the southeastern portion of Lake Kahola. Late summer scene; photo date 9/99.
Spring view over southeastern portion of the lake. A boat ramp is located on far side of the lake. In this morning view, sun glint highlights the lake surface. Photo date 5/98.
View toward the west a few days after spring burning of prairie grass--brown area in background. Trees have sparse leaf cover. Southeast portion of lake is visible in the foreground. Photo date 4/99.
Mid-summer view, similar to above, with full grass cover over the Flint Hills prairie and complete leaf canopy on trees around the lake. Photo date 7/99.
Early spring view in which trees are bare. Cool-season grass (brome, fescue) are green around the cabins, in contrast to the warm season grass to right--see next photo. Photo date 4/00.
Green cool-season grass planted around the lake perimeter makes a strong contrast with native prairie grass beyond the lake vicinity. Native tallgrass (bluestem, Indian, switch) is warm season, and does not begin to green up until late spring (after burning). Photo date 4/00.
Low-oblique view over southeastern portion of Lake Kahola in late winter. Low water level reveals bedrock exposure along the shoreline in lower-left corner of view. See next picture for closeup view. Photo date 3/00.
Closeup view of the Cottonwood Limestone exposed at low water. Distinctive joint (crack) patterns can be seen in the limestone, both above and below the water. Photo date 3/00.
Winter view with low water level. Rocks are exposed along the lake shore (lower left), small patches of snow are present in shadows, and trees are bare. Digital image date 1/02.
Vertical winter view of ice along the lake shore. Note the curious circular patterns in the ice. Digital image date 1/02.
Vertical winter view of ice in a small cove. The circular ice patterns include concentric rings and radial cracks. Notice the skeletal tree shadows. Digital image date 1/02.
