69.05 Bulgaria: Bansko: Muratovo Lake commencing from Banderitsa Hut: We imagined it felt like an introduction to Heaven...(we're trying to delay an invitation.)

  In addition to the many natural sights and/or views enroute to Muratovo Lake (glacial at over 7,300 feet) and return, the lake and surrounds appeared, in our opinion, as a reflection or taste of/from 'Heaven'. While the analogy might be ridiculed, the views and feelings did not merely reflect off the water, but they seemed to emanate from within (something similar occurred in Andorra recently, on the hike to a lake along the French border. The few photographs displayed below are a fraction of the sights witnessed. 

  The main display will follow in the future. In the meantime, take a look at a handful, perhaps an eyeful is more appropriate, as we enjoy sharing such beauty with receptive minds. 

Autumn suddenly seems to be making an impact. One of us could handle autumn arriving only once a year...but never departing.
An early sighting of Muratovo Lake.
Colors, reflections, light, backdrop and water mix to form a magical result.
A sultry scene.
A section of reflecting rocks and actual reeds.
Perhaps the Bulgarians should work on their greens. Looks like something's 'crept' into this section. We came down the left side of the 'odd' tree. (Love the 'odd' trees.)
Mountain side and lake surface.
We'll close with Jen appearing on a rock across the water after being invited to make a guest appearance. (That'll cost her another delicious home-cooked dinner...yet again.) What's new!
One could say we liked the hike and outing. 

Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey

Gone and done it again...just one more. Jen turns to begin walking away into the mountains, as we capture a wide angle of the lake.
