Description

A little nameless lake off one of the logging roads out back. Perfectly still in the mist, no traffic, no bird songs, just the sound of your breathing as you stand and drink it in. A city dweller's dream, or nightmare perhaps? Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

Hello garnite my old friend, I've come to talk with you again ... a lovely lake to keep my heart weeping... a few more hours and I will be sleeping. But I must say... that here today... there is a lovely sound of silence written on the rendo walls. (Sorry about that, mate I couldn't resist). I adore lakes. I grew up beside one and this one tho it be little is just packed with raw beauty!

Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls." And whisper'd in the sounds of silence. Written by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle I thought the lyrics were appropriate Dearest Jim, a lovely image this is and titled the same as one of my favorite songs! WOW! hugs

Lovely scene, and very tranquil, reminds me a little of Loch Eilean in the Cairngorm national park. (although someone put a castle in the middle of that) Agree with Nilla about the song.
