Lakeside Reflection #3

Lake District, UK, October 29, 2014.
Image shows a lake side scene. In the foreground we see a track leading towards a fence that in turn leads the eye straight into the water and towards the strong hills and mountains on the far side of the lake. In the distance we see yet more mountains and hills, the lake is obviously set among a very mountainous region. Still waters reflect the fence, hills, mountains and sky perfectly. A tree branch covers the top of the scene and thus we are treated to a windowed view of an idyllic natural scene The morning sun hits the hillside and casts a warm light over the whole scene. A superb example of a natural scene among lakes and mountains
