"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain"

Even with dark stormy skies above, the glacial southern lakes of New Zealand retain some of their beautiful colour. I am in love with that colour !
When I was a child in a far away country I used to dream of turquoise lakes. My other dream of becoming a ballerina (when about 5 !) never got off the ground, but this one did.

You have such fantastic skies Lyn - whether sunset skies or storm skies they have a much stronger and vivid appearance as though nature has added more contrast and saturation! Very nice and threatening sky - will make a very good entry for the contest.

Very dramatic. Looks like a scene from Northern Climes with those snow covered mountains and tree lined shoreline.

Tones are beautiful, LE. I gave up on being a ballerina myself.
Good shot.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

An eerie, beautiful landscape... The pale turquoise of the lake under such a sky is unusual, almost surreal. Lovely entry, Lyn!
