This is how Red Rocks Lake looked this morning, 4/11/15. The ice is starting to melt, so if you want to get a shot of the ice before it is gone, you should go soon.
As you can see, the sky over the mountains was fairly clear, but it was cloudy over the lake, creating this beautiful deep blue middle ground and dark reflections.
If I were to hazard a guess I would say Lake Matheson is probably the most photographed lake in New Zealand. I know I've taken my fair share!
Thank you all for your comments and faves!

In a Christmas mood today, though, it feels a bit funny to work on fall pictures listening to Christmas music... Oh well.. It kinda makes sense in my crazy universe.. Have a great weekend guys!!
In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.

Emerald Lake is the largest lake in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. The mountains in the background are probably part of the President Range in the Canadian Rockies.
Unfortunately there was a bit of wind at the time when I got there, therefore the reflections were not as crisp and the supposedly turquoise (...or emerald) color of the water was not as eminent. Nonetheless, it is a very beautiful and popular tourist attraction of the National Park.

Here's one from early last summer along the western shore of Lake Tahoe. I just love the color of that water.

If I had been able to balance my tripod a bit quicker on the floating log-jam, this Lake Reflection (10,005 ft.) and Mt Jordan (13,344 ft) scene would have been even better. By the time I got set up midstream on the slippery rocks and logs, the orange-finned brook trout that would have been easily visible in the lower left had slipped away. A key prop for this photo is the sunlit cliff that is just outside the right edge. This reddish, east facing cliff was reflecting light back across the lake and on to the lodgepole pines, warming the scene and filling in shadows like a reflective screen or flash would in a studio setting.
Lache means not laughng in this case. It is a formation of puddle. Here it is a nature reserve in Leipzig, Germany formed by little lakes.

The Balkans is the historical name of a geographic region of southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. The region has a combined area of 550,000 km2 (212,000 sq mi) and a population of about 55 million people.
The ancient Greek name for the Balkan Peninsula was “the Peninsula of Haemus” (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου, Chersónisos tou Aímou).
The Balkans are adjoined by water on three sides: the Black Sea to the east and branches of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west (including the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Marmara seas).
The identity of the Balkans is dominated by its geographical position; historically the area was known as a crossroads of various cultures. It has been a juncture between the Latin and Greek bodies of the Roman Empire, the destination of a massive influx of pagan Slavs, an area where Orthodox and Catholic Christianity met, as well as the meeting point between Islam and Christianity.
The Balkans today is a very diverse ethno-linguistic region, being home to multiple Slavic, Romance, and Turkic languages, as well as Greek, Albanian, and others. Through its history many other ethnic groups with their own languages lived in the area, among them Thracians, Illyrians, Romans, Uzes, Pechenegs, Cumans, Avars, Celts, Germans, and various Germanic tribes.
The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era. The practices of growing grain and raising livestock arrived in the Balkans from the Fertile Crescent by way of Anatolia, and spread west and north into Pannonia and Central Europe.
In pre-classical and classical antiquity, this region was home to Greek city-states, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Epirotes, Mollosians, Thessalians, Dacians and other ancient groups. Later the Roman Empire conquered most of the region and spread Roman culture and the Latin language but significant parts still remained under classical Greek influence. During the Middle Ages, the Balkans became the stage for a series of wars between the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires.
This is a panorama merge of several photos shot with Sony RX100v, merged in Lightroom. Once again I'm impressed with LR's merging capabilities - even though the water ripples were of course slightly different in each shot, it has managed to match them up perfectly and I can't see any seams. This is Lake Atitlán, at the beach in Santa Catarina Palopó, in Guatemala. The colorful boat is a cayuco, a particular type of canoe-like boat they have used there for centuries. Too bad the volcano on the right is mostly hidden by clouds, but you can see Cerro Del Orro, the smaller hill in front of the volcano that is rumored to be full of hidden gold (probably not really, given how much people have looked).
Also, a few days ago, my mom left her camera on an airplane :-(
I know it's a long shot, but if any of you happen to know anyone who found a Sony HX90v on a Delta plane at LAX (or potentially anywhere that plane went next?), please ask them to send me photos from the memory card to see if it's hers.
Spring slowly breaks winters frozen hold on Medicine Lake. While the Maligne River pours into the lake from the south, the lake is actually a geological anomaly as there is no visible exit to the lake. In spring the river cuts a path through the ice across the lake towards the North Western ends abruptly at this pool where it is thought to drain through the soluble limestone rock below. It does not surface again for 16km where Maligne Canyon improbably cuts its way out of the ground. The sinking river system is thought to be one of the largest inaccessible cave systems anywhere in the world. Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Lake Lovatnet in Western Norway seems so peaceful here – however it was the place of two major disasters in Norwegian history. In 1905, a huge chunk of the mountain fell into the lake, creating tsunami on a local scale. It killed dozens of people and destroyed the little village on its shore. Gradually, people came back, thinking that the disaster cannot hit the same place twice. They were wrong: 21 years later, it happened again! Still, some people live there now... Have a look at the previous image in my photostream, a memory of the last strike by the mountain troll.
Picture Lake in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington. I was chasing the classic photo of Mt Shuksan reflecting in still waters of Picture Lake, but I either got still waters, or I got Mt Shuksan looking good with clouds. On this evening, I was ready to give up and pick up the challenge once again in the morning for the early sunrise. Mt Shuksan was completely blocked by clouds with no signs of clearing. Being on vacation, I convinced myself that giving the weather every opportunity to present me with something nice is what I'm here for. So I stayed, and while Mt Shuksan didn't clear completely, it did present me with an unforgettable memory and a photograph that I like. I'm hoping that you'll like it too. Picture Lake...I will return some day! DSC_3338A
