Behold, The Lake…

“Here are the Alpine landscapes which create
A fund for contemplation; -to admire
Is a brief feeling of a trivial date;
But something worthier do such scenes inspire.
Here to be lonely is not desolate,
For much I view which I could most desire,
And, above all, a lake I can behold
Lovelier, not dearer, than our own of old.”

— Lord Byron.Epistle to Augusta

    i love the way this looks and lighting! Switzerland looks to be one of the most amazing places that I would love to visit, thanks for sharing Martina

  5. A complete stunner…love the colour treatment.

  6. The colours of the grass and the water compliment each other very well in that shot

  7. Un grand bravo pour cette série de photos. Là encore, les nuances de couleurs et la lumière sont de toute beauté. Un travail tout en finesse. Mes compliments.

  8. Such a beautifully observed 20mm frame with wonderful detail and a great depth of focus. Feels as though I am lying in the grass, watching the world go by.

  9. marvelous tonality also in this one i like you pov and soft background

  10. Very pleasant summertime setting. Beautiful image and mood.

  11. Again a wonderful photograph from you. This one really says summer to me. It reminds me of days spend canoeing in Denmark as a child.

  12. I can “feel” this one. The warmth of the sun, the wind that tousles the rushes and ripples the water, the smell of the outdoors. There is nothing like that…and your photo brings it all to life. Very nice.

  13. I love how you only let us sneak a view here, Martina!
