This reflects the mood I’m in, gloomy, but with several bright moments in between. A tranquil lake, its surface smooth like glass, is surrounded by trees adorned in autumnal hues of amber, crimson, and gold. A very slight breeze casts delicate patterns on the water’s surface. This interplay of light birch trees and evergreens creates a mesmerizing mix of gloomy and vibrant colors. I sit quietly, absorbing the beauty of nature’s transition.



Beautiful 🙂
Thanks Paul
It has that painterly quality xx
Jo’s right, Ritva. Painterly indeed. And not gloomy at all in my eyes. Quiet. Contemplative. Peaceful.
Jo, thank you. Not my intention, but I will happy except that
I agree with all, “Beautiful, Painterly Quality, Peaceful” and Art.

the silver birch (?) that is leaning slightly almost seems to move – great shot
Thanks Becky, I can’t tell the birch trees apart but most likely you are right 😀
Somber scenes soothe the soul.

Your writing beautifully captures the interplay of gloom and brightness within nature’s canvas.
The tranquil lake, autumn hues, and gentle breeze together reflect the truth of life—that even in shadows, light finds its way.
Your words painted the scene so vividly that I felt as though I was sitting by that lake myself.
A deeply moving and soulful expression!
