The first shot is a super capture.
thank you
Fantastic work not to mention the great scenery. Thank you sharing
thank you, too
Ciao, great shots!
ciao! grazie!
Lovely shots – especially the first one. Atitlan really is a beautiful lake – but I have to say that I’m not sure I agree with Huxley that it’s the most beautiful lake in the world. Italy’s Lake Como takes some beating in my opinion!
thank you very much, eleanor.
every lake has its own personality. i wouldn’t bother to try rating them – i just love to bask in beauty. for this, atitlan works quite well.
You’re right and I have many happy memories of Atitlan from when I lived in nearby Antigua. But I guess what I wanted to say is that you are fortunate enough to have a stunning lake in Italy too – as I have recently discovered, as I’m lucky enough to be spending a year in Italy right now
So you don’t have to go quite so far to capture more great lake pictures.
