About the shot
Wonderfull swiss lac.
Not difficult to get there but you still need to walk in the nice swiss Alps.
I saw some picture on the internet regarding this lac. I couldn't belive that the colors were true.
So on a sunny summer day we took the car and drove near Arolla. It is a nice valley very tipical in this area. We got to a small village and we start walking. it is a 20 hike in a easy path. it is uphill of course but really relax.
One there, the lac was very nice with a lot of tourists. It seems that I wasn't the only one with the idea. The water was freezing cold by the way. In fact there were a number of small lakes interconnected. the challege was to find a good angle to capture the beauty of the place. Idealy without tourits ...
Finnaly the spot that I prefered was on the small hill that allowed me to take a picture further from the lac. A 16mm wide angle was also perfect to capture the complete scene.
And there you go.
About the story
Lakes
Water, oceans, seas and lakes.
Having the opportunity to live in the Leman area, it is a pleasure to visit, swim and paddle on it.
Switzerland count thousands of lakes and as many explorations and adventures. You have the big lakes such as the Leman, lake of Neuchatel or the one in Zurich or Interlaken.
Other lake and maybe the most mysterious ones, are the smaller mountain lakes. Some of them have incredibly bluish color. Other are darker.
Finally, there are the artificial lake, created by dams. These as well can be impressive specially because they are high in the mountains.
It is a pleasure to look on the map and then to go and discover the place.
