Hi Steemers!
Today´s theme for the #smartphonephotography contest organized by @juliank and @photocontests is “reflection” so I decided to submit these two shots taken at the Silver Lake in my Czech hometown Opava.
I really love hanging around this place but I should provide you with some information first as the name actually cannot be more misleading.
In fact, it is not a lake and it has nothing to do with silver :D It used to be a gypsum quarry that got flooded by the nearby River Opava in 1964. Gypsum is called “Sádrovec” in the Czech language so the colloquial name of the place “Sádrák” is actually more fitting than the official name.
Soon after the quarry got filled with water, the place became a popular relaxation area for residents of the region and even international visitors from Poland as Opava is located very close to the Czech-Polish border.
The place gets very crowded in summer with up to thousands of people chilling out on the banks of the lake but if you come in low season, you will have this beautiful place pretty much just for yourself.
How about you, my Steemit fellows? Do you have your favorite getaway spot in your hometown? I would love to see it :)
Czech: Jedno z mých oblíbených míst u nás v Opavě. Stříbrné Jezero. Není to však jezero a se stříbrem taky nemá nic společného :D Je to zatopený sádrovcový lom. Místní ho hojně navštěvují hlavně v létě, kdy se na jeho březích tísní i tisíce lidí. Zato v ostatních ročních obdobích je tam většinou klid a pohoda. Máte-li také nějaké své přírodní místečko, kam si chodíte pročistit hlavu, budu rád, když se podělíte. Hezký víkend!
If you enjoy my content, feel free to upvote and resteem :) I don’t always follow back but I upvote original and interesting comments on my posts. Have a wonderful day and Steem on!
K odpočinku mi stačí vysoký les. Pokud chci ale opravdu relaxovat, přenesu se na tohle místo.
Na vrcholku skály se dokážu uvolnit nejvíce ;-)

Amazong shot, the colors of the landscape perfectly contrast the sky and the water body. The trees vibrant color makes it more livelier and pleasing to the eyes.

V létě chodíváme do zatopeného lomu - pískovcového, ale mnohem menšího. Je tam tak max. 15 lidí, většinou jen my. :)

To musí být super, zatopené lomy jsou nej! :)) Kousek za Opavou je ještě jeden břidlicový s úplně průzračnou (ale studenou :D) vodou.

Thanks Alina :) If you want to swim there, you should come in summer as thats the only season when the water is warm enough for that. Spring and fall make for nice romantic walks. In winter, the landscape gets covered with snow (sometimes :D) which is nice too :)
