Well, leaving near the sea, obviously main attention grabs seascapes. Also not really a lot of nice lakes we have around, but still.
Here is small lake in the city of Klaipeda caught on the sunrise and with a nice foggy atmosphere with a beautiful colours.

Enjoy this calm scenery!

Wonderful view to the Dragon Lake, the Coburger HΓΌtte, the Dragon Head and the Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze near Ehrwald in the Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena
I took this picture last summer on my trip through the Alps.
If you are interested in the whole hiking story, I wrote a blog post about it here ;-)

Wow amazing. Upvoted

I was driving around the White Lake and trying to find a spot for a blue hour photo that day. I almost gave up when I saw a ground free of buildings and with exit to the water. But there was nothing special, a lack of some detail. Disappointed, I had made a couple of shots and was going to get back to my car when I a boat appeared in the middle of the lake. I decided to wait a little bit, and I was awarded. Now I had everything I wanted for a blue hour shot on the lake.

A very serene and beautifully colorful image!

Thanks a lot!

I took my two boys (12 & 8) on our first annual father son backpacking trip to Sawtooth lake for a 4 day 3 night adventure. They did surprisingly well and had a great time, but by nightfall they were spent and were fast asleep before the stars came out. This was our view for 2 of the nights.

thanks for participating

This is from The Lake District in the UK, the perfect place for this challenge right!? It's where my wife and I spent our honeymoon 5 and a bit years ago and we revisit it for our anniversary each year (and as many times in between as possible!) This one was from our anniversary visit in November, it was our longest trip to date (A whopping 11 nights!) and we felt more relaxed than I can remember!

Gorgeous! What amazing photographers there are on Steemit!! I just "followed" you so that I can potentially use some of your images with blogs and tag you to direct others to your work, so it gets voted on and shared to earn you not only appreciation, but Steam too!! :)

Thank you! Much appreciated!

thanks for participating

Thanks :) and thanks for running the contest!

The beautiful Lake O'Hara region of Yoho National Park in British Columbia is nice enough in the daytime, but when the stars and Northern Lights are out, it's something else!

Incredible!!! :)

This is a picture I took while visiting Crater Lake National Park in Oregon with my family over the summer. Crater Lake is a collapsed caldera that is the deepest lake in the United States and gets all of its water from rain and melted snow.

My drone shot of two lakes, they look really small from above but it's really great place to spend time with friends/family. I've been here many times but this is my favourite photo of it !DJI_0054-1-copy.jpg

The image is from Racos, Brasov, Romania the lake is surrounded by basaltic rocks and because of those minerals it gets an extremly saturated green color

A soothing view of Loch Morlich in Glenmore, Scottish Highlands, UK.

It was on Christmas Day a couple of years ago, I went for a hike to the Cairngorm Mountain, part walking part hitchhiking from Aviemore with a close friend of mine. We were very lucky to catch a ride on our way back after a day's walk, as it was very quiet and not many people were around. Who'd know the reflections on Loch Morlich, we got to see half way through the way, would be such a deal breaker! We both felt that we had no option but to abandon our ride . . .

in exchange for beautiful memories.

This photograph is from my visit to Finland in August 2014. The lake located on border of Finland and Russia. We took images of bears at the lake shore and I spent night in a tiny wooden cabin. I woke to a beautiful morning, there were no bears around, but lake was just astonishing. So I replaced the telephoto lens on the camera by a wide angle, stretched out hands with camera from an opening in the cabin and took some blind pictures.
This one turned out one of my favorite images of that trip.

I took this photo in 2016 during my short vacation at the Salzkammergut in Austria. This photo shows you a part of the Lake Wolfgang. The beautiful landscape around the lake is a very popular place for hikers, paragliders and photographers.
I posted this photo today on my feed, but I think it's also a good entry for this contest.
