Colourful sunset at a mirror-smooth lake

Despite the clouds, the lake was as smooth as glass that evening, and we were lucky that the sky was so beautifully coloured. Around sunset and sunrise, I keep a close eye on the sky, because every day it offers a unique view. The water is smooth, and with the rich colours in the sky and in the water, it creates a serene atmosphere. Nature is at rest. The reflection in the water creates symmetry, which is pleasing to the eye. The reflection is so sharp that even the tops of the trees on the horizon can be seen in the water. The details in the structure of the clouds, the edge of the forest and the contrast between the forest on the horizon and the glowing sky above make you want to keep looking at the picture for a long time. In your mind, you step into a boat to enjoy the view as you float around. Can you hear the silence in your mind?

This photograph would be beautiful as a large piece on the wall. It is very sharp and therefore suitable for all sizes. This photograph was taken in Drenthe, the Netherlands.
