Such a beautiful, tranquil, calm morning picture, Barbara! The mid-level mackerel-sky and vast, blue skies define a perfect sunny day. Looking out to the horizon beyond the dark, monochrome-coloured forest in the foreground, one can see the beautiful, snow-covered swiss mountains floating above the mist-covered valleys, which stretch off into the distance. The mist in the valleys creates a lake-like effect, where the lake curves around the mountains almost like a deep-water fjord from Norway or New Zealand. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
