Lake Väner
Swedish Vänern,

largest lake in Sweden, 2,181 square miles (5,650 square km) in area, in the southwestern part of the country. The lake is about 90 miles (145 km) long and as much as 348 feet (106 metres) deep, and its surface lies 144 feet (44 metres) above sea level. The lake is fed by numerous rivers (the largest being the Klar), and the lake itself drains westward into the Kattegat (strait) via the Göta River, which is a major source of hydroelectric power. Väner is surrounded by rocky, wooded shores except on the south, where the coast is low and conducive to farming. The lake forms a major link in the Göta Canal, a waterway that crosses Sweden from Göteborg on Sweden's west coast to Stockholm on the east coast. Improvements on the Trollhätte Canal permit seagoing craft entering from the Kattegat to serve such lake ports as Karlstad, Lidköping, Vänersborg, Kristinehamn, Åmal, Säffle, and Mariestad. These towns have important industries, such as tanneries, ironworks, and paper mills. Väner is the third largest lake in Europe, after Ladoga and Onega (both in Russia).

Hello Zorica. Beautiful shot of this vertical perspective. I like the sharpness of this clean image against the spotless sky. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Zorica
Beautiful capture that seems a watercolor painting. The reflections are marvelous and very sharpness. Good job, dear. Best regards, Consuelo

Pozdrav Zorica,

Super ukomponirano, prelepe barve, globina in reflekcije. Motivov ti v Skandinaviji zares ne zmanjka. :)

Zdravo Zorica,

iz slike v sliko se jezero kaže kot prečudovito. Ta se mi še posebno dopade z linijo nasutega pomola in nežnih dreves odetih v prvo spomladansko listje. Linije zemlje, ki se vrstijo po modrem ozadju dajejo izredno kompozicijsko vrednost celotni sliki, hkrati pa poudarjajo čudovite refleksije in toplo sonce iz severna dela našega planeta. Prečudovito!

Lep pozdrav,
Jeri

Bonjour Zorica,
Cette photo est intéressante par sa composition, son cadrage et ses qualités techniques. Mais je vois une tache inexpliquée au centre-gauche de la photo. D'ailleurs l'examen d'autres de tes photos récentes (Lake Vaner et Kapaonic) montrent le même genre de tache.
J'envoie un WS où j'encercle la zone en question.
Salutations, Réjean

PS: J'aime l'ensemble de ton oeuvre...
