I made my fifth visit a few weeks ago.\u00a0<\/span> Challenges, however, begin when you are done with easy-to-make images. It helps when the weather gods show different moods.<\/p>\n This time when I was there, it was windy and the lake surface was restless. There was a thin layer of cloud through which the sun was barely visible.

The first few images at this place came easy. When the sun is shining and the air is still, the lake reflects everything within th<\/span>e view. It assumes the blue of the sky, and the reflection is so perfect that you can’t see the lake’s waters in a photograph.<\/p>\n
