PEACEFUL BLUE HOUR - Walensee, Switzerland

Twice a year, on a few days, the sun sinks on the opposite shore of the elongated lake. This means that the warm colors of the sunset are reflected throughout the lake. However, the mountains prevent it from "sinking" completely into the lake.

The calm lake level made it possible to stand a bit in the water and hold the camera close above the surface to enhance the effect a bit more.

The picture was taken close above the water. In the foreground, the waves spread out in circles around the points where a stone has been thrown across and touched the surface.

Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
