A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature.
It is earth’s eye;
looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
Henry David ThoreauI missed #monochromemonday and today is #treetuesday so I am incorporating the two in one photo. Trees and monochrome photography. Done!-2.jpg)

Thank you @old-guy-photos
for initiating the #monchromemonday and #treetuesday photo challenges
A glass lake for sure - I can see a bird reflected in the surface. Beautiful monochrome

I can still smell it!! That reminds me of a commercial years ago for a soup commercial. I forget which one. But there was a tiny elderly lady who'd call out from the distance and sing/say, I can still smell it!
Pine is the best and freshest scent, in my opinion !

The Thoreau quote is just wonderful and perfect match to the depths of your photo:)Two days in one ... well done:)

I almost made it a 3 er ... .@daveks has a photo contest for water landscapes....but I rattle my mind too much trying to keep up with all these challenges and contests. Aaaaaand, I think I am going to go back to posting once a day. Twice is a lot of work. Seriously. I don't know how some do it 4 or more times a day.

I generally aim for twice and often double up too on themes. I post twice a day ... one for 100 day poem challenge and another haiku. I couldn't imagine posting more than that. I also spend a lot of time appreciating the work of others. I am still relatively new here and building community is important for me:)

Thanks Lydon. I love glassy lakes and this one was just that. A few ripples across the way and close to me was pure water - I could see the bottom.

It wasn't too bad. It was a dark and rainy afternoon in BC....rainforest you know. I like cooler temperatures, just not winter kind. Black and white tends to make things look colder...and dark. Think lots of green and a blue sky and clouds reflecting off the glassy lake. Aw....that's more like it.

Beautiful shot! I would argue that a mountain is more expressive than a lake. But ultimately it’s nice to have both !

It looks like something primordial, untouched and pure. As it is beautifully told that lakes are eyes of the Earth. Very beautiful picture. On the surface of the water as a mirror reflects all the beauty of this landscape. Thank You!

Thank you for such a beautiful comment! This lake is located at the base of Mt Garibaldi in BC - a Provincial Park with four glacial lakes. It's a very nice hike.

Wonderful image. Is that typically a still water lake or is it usually more active?

It's a glacier lake so it would be fairly calm and glassy unless there was windy or other elements.
Glad you enjoyed the photo.
