I took a trip with my bike to a beautiful lake where I wanted to repeat a shot which I screwed up the week before (coming soon). Since I was already on the way I decided to continue shooting on a place a friend of mine told me of. According to the map I was not so far away from that place.... Unfortunately it just looked like that and the trip was a lot longer than expected and I arrived long after sunset at that place. Because it was a long trip and the sun was about to set in only a few hours I decided to wait there.

I learned some valuable lessons for the future during the wait. First it get's colder in the night as you acutually think, always have more than one podcast with you (it's boring to hear the same one around 3 times), don't go without food and drink, check if spare batteries are actually also charged, get a tent/sleeping bag, get a spirit level.

Besides those valuable lessons, I got a few decent images there and I'm looking forward to visit the same place again during summer and autumn when all trees have leaves. A little better prepared though.

I hope you like it and thanks for visiting.

Very peaceful photo. I can easily imagine myself sitting on the rock watching the water and the sun go down. (and getting cold...) :)

Very nice hues and the smoothing effect on the water from the long exposure adds a nice contrast to the texture of the rocks. It was worth the wait to get this shot.
