There is something about lakes. They’re peaceful, they’re quiet. They don’t rush at you like the sea, but are content to just sit there, delighting our eyes and soul. Each lake photographed below is more beautiful than the last. I’d love to sit next to one of them, stare into the distance, and feel the peace of nature surrounding me. Let’s enjoy them together.
