The night before, the wind was blowing, and zero reflections here; the next morning, the water was like a mirror.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)
Sunrise usually gets all the attention but sometimes, like this morning at Spoon Bay, something quieter goes on.
The sky settles into a few soft pastels. The ocean rolls in, doing its thing, keeping the edge of the world more or less in place.
You just stop. Breathe it in. Feel it. Feel part of a bigger world.
Work and the usual worries can wait.
Just being there is enough.
Thanks for the visit and any comments, always much appreciate :)
PS - if anyone gets a message from me about canned meat don't open it. It's spam ;)
The softened light, the veiling haze,
The calm repose of autumn days,
Steal gently o'er the troubled breast,
Soothing life's weary cares to rest.

Looking across Derwent Reservoir in the Peak District. On this calm day it appears like glass before it disappears over the edge of the dam and down the cascading drop at the other side.

During our visit, Chichen Itza site was invaded by crowds of tourists, and also plenty merchants on the alleys. Fortunately, as we were leaving at the site's closing, there was almost nobody left.
So i could take a quiet shot of the stunning pyramid of Kukulkan.
This pyramid (also called El Castillo) is not the largest in Mexico: it is about 30m high (99 ft), compared to the 65m (216 ft) Pyramid of the Sun in Tehotihuacan.
But it is certainly one of the most beautiful and best preserved in the country. It dates from the 12th century.
Kukulcan was the Feathered Serpent God among the Toltecs, he was the God of resurrection and reincarnation.

Le calme retrouvé
Lors de notre visite, le site de Chichen Itza était envahi par des foules de touristes, et aussi par plein de marchands sur les allées. Heureusement, à la fermeture du site, alors que nous repartions, il n'y avait presque plus personne.
Ca m'a permis un cliché tranquile de la pyramide extraordinaire de Kukulkàn.
Cette pyramide (également appelée El Castillo) , n'est pas la plus grande du Mexique : elle fait environ 30m de haut , à comparer aux 65 m de la pyramide du Soleil à Tehotihuacan.
Mais c'est certainement une plus belles et des mieux conservées du pays. Elle date du 12ème siècle.
Kukulcán était le dieu Serpent à Plumes chez les Toltèques, il était le Dieu de la résurection et de la réincarnation.

Parking by the restaurant at Otter Ferry, on the Cowal peninsula, we walked away from the masses for some peace and tranquillity by Loch Fyne.
