Not necessarily a jaw-dropper, but rather a photo that gives us a warm feeling in the stomach area, when we look at it. This is one of about three smaller lakes we regularly come across on our mountain bike tours. The title is the first line from the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost, because you always want moments like this to stay although you clearly know everything is subject to change and that this is also the reason why we enjoy the moment in the first place.

• So simple and all the more effective for that plus the right choice in going mono. Captures the quietness of the moment very well, I???d say.

• Ganz schwieriges Licht und eine Gradwanderung zwischen Scherenschnitt und Detail. Die Atmosphaere stimmt :) ....aber ich würde trotzdem gerne wissen was dort rechts hinten ist....:D

• whew, you know, in my opinion, I would crop out the sky and make an image of the mysterious lake reflection, perhaps it would be yet another trite reflection shot, but I think it's worth some look. I like this one more than the current one.
  Phu @ 2006-May-25 18:46
• Not jawdropping but oh so beautiful.
  I'm fond of reflections and the reflections in the water are great.

• The "sepia" like tone here suits the picture perfect.
  thukai @ 2006-May-27 18:36
• Impressive colors Ella. For me this looks like a silent place, nature ambient, birds singing, only frogs making some noise, a place that is worth to keep in mind on these days.
  Uwe @ 2006-May-27 18:49
• Beautiful scene.
  Tomasz @ 2006-May-28 12:00
