Tom Steed lake, south about 35-40 miles (for our metric fans out there thats around 50 to 60 kilometers, lol) This is an older shot but I love this place, this time of year there are few who venture out to the lake and it's very quiet and serene, the kind of place where the only sounds are that of your on breathing and the beat of your heart countered by the relentless winds blowing through the rocks. I love to go there occationally and just sit and listen, not the most beautiful place on earth but very powerful none the less...
I think it is a beautiful place & your description was great, I could imagine sitting there in near silence just relaxing & thinking, hearing a bird every once in a while maybe. Very nice.
oh, so smooth and dramatic; I love how you finished this, the water looks so smooth and inviting, the tree in its barren-ness has such a poignant feeling
