According to the dictionary, a lake is a large reservoir of water – usually sweet water – surrounded by land. And if to be a little less formal, lakes are undoubtedly one of the prettiest natural phenomena. It’s hard to put words to describe the beauty expressed in these photos, with each lake more beautiful and serence than the next, making me want to pack my bags, rent a little boat and go drift on them, without a care in the world.
