Lac de Roue, Alpes, France – August 2005

Alpes, day three: After the tiring excursion of the day before, we went for the easy and relaxing walk to the Roue lake, 1860 meters, filled with an aquatic plant which french name is ‘Potamos’ (special bonus point if you know its english name).

Wow Andréas, this is absolutely FANTASTIC. You have captured on digital what seems to look like a painting…

Superb image - a painting in pixels.
And would that be pond weed or duck weed in the water?

Bonus point accorded to Turfdigger: Potamos indeed is the French word for pondweed (see this article fore more details).

Beautilful shot.

Looks like a peaceful place to be.

Beautiful place. I was going to say that there is a bit too green tint on the image, but after looking better, it kinds of complements the scenery… gives the image the same taste of those old panoramic photos that are hanged on the walls of alpine refuges…
