We are walking, climbing and running down the mountainside and suddenly the lake is there. Indescribably beautiful.
We are silent for a moment. The moment must be kept, never forgotten.
Mountain lakes are wondrous. A reflection of sky and mountain.
A raven watch every step we take. The only sound is the cry of the bird while it is moving uneasily on a branch. Life is here and now.

HANNA'S WALK 
Truth! It seems that all mountain lakes are hidden until the last moment when they are instantly revealed in all their glory. Living in a really dry place, seeing water in the mountains is always magical and always appreciated.
Thank you for your lovely description of delight when when a mountain lake reveals itself 💕💕
All the best,
Hanna
Such a very peaceful image.
Thanks a lot for your comment!!
All the best,
Hanna
Lovely paintings, Hanna. And even though it has been (too) long since I have hiked to a mountain lake, I can relate to your words. It is always special to get to a mountain lake.
Best,
Tanja
Thank you so much, Tanja. I haven’t been around a mountain lake in US. My only experience is Norway and Austria.
Norway has a lot of blue pearls on a row. They always cherish my heart when I think of them 💕
I wish we have had fishing poles with us 😊 Tafjordfjella
Tafjordfjella is gorgeous. You will have to go back and take fishing poles along. 🙂
The last painting looks like something out of a fantasy novel. Mountains and lakes and the mirror reflection they create are magical indeed.
Thanks a lot, Ab. I find mountain lakes absolutely amazing 💕😊
I love the water
That’s good for a start! 😊😊
Silence, then the cry of the raven… I like the position of the human spirit in these images!
Quietness to explore nature…
Thanks a lot!
