“A lake is a 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 Thoreau

Lake Hayes, Central Otago, New Zealand. Taken with Panasonic FZ7. Not a sound to be heard, just the occassional ripple made by the ducks :)

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Think that Henry David Thoreau was a wise man, Lyn.

Your beautiful image is a proof to me that he was right.
