My friend Pirjo admiring the silence and reflections of Lake Isolammi in Tampere. Isolammi is one of the 187 888 lakes in Finland.

The lake was silent for some time. Finally, it said:
"I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful.
I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see,
in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.” ~ Paulo Coelho

Beautiful shot. Coleen Perillox Landry, I agree with you. ;-) :-)

I see it was taken with a Powershot. I still say "you cannot beat the Powershot", no matter which number it is. It gives the best, true color and the widest angles.

You had nice light and stillness in the air giving you a great scene ,the refection is beautiful, but the focal point is your lovely friend Pirjo enjoying the view.
Excellent resolution.
