“The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.”

Attractive scenery before sunset disappears behind the sea horizon leaving the sky and the clouds engulfed in a beautiful orange color.
Tranquility can only be achieved through the tedious act of balancing on a single leg. Trust me, the heron told me.

The serenity of the day, the stillness of the canal.The morning sunshine illuminating the moored boats under the canopy of the trees and casting it's shimmering reflections.
On a rainy day ...
... at a small mountain lake in the Swiss alps
A little story about the picture: We were so looking forward to this weekend, where we wanted to visit this mountain lake all together. The weather forecast did not bode well, but we were still hopeful that there would be some nice moments. Unfortunately, the weather was even worse than the forecasts said, because on the first day it rained almost constantly and it was bitterly cold. Arriving at the accommodation, we still wanted to hike that day to the lake high in the mountains. Everything was gray and wet and we could therefore walk very badly. When we arrived at the little lake, it was still raining and the fog was low over the mountains. We only saw the water from the lake. We could not even recognize the trees all around. We were all alone up there. (Normally there are some visitors on this amazing place.) That was the beautiful side of this weather, because it was so quiet and peaceful in this wild nature. We arranged ourselves with the weather and tried to capture this mood with our cameras. Somehow it should work, after all, they should be weatherproof, according to the manufacturer. Well, we could test that extensively on this day. It was not very long and our cameras were completely wet with all the accessories. We started to freeze because everything was wet on us too. We then tried desperately to avert the damage. At some point we gave up and tried to focus only on photographing, which we partially succeeded, as the rain for a few minutes became less or stopped altogether. Out of this background, this photo was taken here. We spent a whole afternoon in the rain and in the evening anyway or just because of that, we were all happy together with a good and warm dinner in the accommodation.
Addition: Both of my cameras were totally wet including bags and still worked after that day. So both survived the hard test in the swiss alps, because the next day it rained on and I continued to shoot with both cameras !!!
By the way, I've never seen more intense colors in the fall than on those rainy & unforgettable days in the swiss mountain world. I learned something new, that you can also enjoy the rainy weather as well.
Dire Straits-Why Worry
Dreams
By Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

A peaceful but chilly moment on our pond next door. Very rare to have lots of snow, but no wind. Winter was a little slower in arriving here this year, but it is certainly making its presence felt now and the wind is back with a vengeance today!
