Clouds in the lake Photo

Photographer’s Note

There is no doubt that one of the main attractions in Scandinavia is its nature - sometimes wild, sometimes more or less inhabited, but always beautiful.
This photo was taken at Grinsby camping (its coordinates 12deg 25' 48" E, 59deg 18' 17" N) which is situated not far from E18 road at the shore of calm and quiet Stora Bör lake. People say that the water in the lake can be drunk safely.
Great place to spend a couple of days swimming, fishing and making boat trips to one of its 80 islands. You can see one of the islands on this shot.

What a great variety of colors! The reflection in the lake is just perfect, even better than if the surface had been completetly flat. Great work!

The clarity and compostion are stunning. Perfect reflection.

Very beautiful. The rocks in the foreground launch me into the lake and across that painting like reflection. The colors of the trees are beautiful and the distance to the far shore really felt. The crispness helps in this here and is perfect. Very nicely composed. I can even imagine a canoe on this lake or something to add to it even if it's empty. Good job.

A very beautiful and tranquil scene, Dmitry. Excellent colours. I especially like the stones in the foreground. Well framed.

Hehe Dmitry - The coordinates reffered I think is right out of your car navigator - well easy then to find back to this place ;-)

Very good landscape shot, good inclusion of details to make an interesting photo where the reflection sure adds to the overall impression.
