Description

I have taken this shot during my June vacations. The Sainte Croix Lake is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. This is the largest of the Verdon lakes. The stretch of water is approximately 10 km. long and 3 km. wide, making a total of 2,200 ha. The "tail" of the lake heads back up into the Verdon gorges at the "Pont de Galetas" in the northern part between Aiguines and Moustiers. This is a chosen spot for kayakers. I hope you will enjoy :)) Have a nice week, Hugs, Chantal

Lakes like these are pure joy, the serene beauty, the cool water, the reflections, the sounds, the smellings, it's all just to be enjoyed for those who pay attention to it and I guess you inhaled every moment of it as pure happiness! :)

Bonsoir Chantal ! Vraiment sublime cette photo, et le contraste de la terre rouge avec cette eau bleu presque turquoise, c'est magnifique ! Cela donne envie de s'y plonger et de nager jusqu'uisement !!!! Lol ! Il faut que j'y aille voir ce lac, depuis le temps que je le dis ! Gros gros bisous, et bonne nuit...
