Should you wish to view the better side of an 'upside-down world', we think this is as a good time and place as any. Because we are obviously biased, we don't believe it gets better regarding reflections and lakes.
The photographs are a taste or reflection of 2 powerful days in the mountains. Details, plus a spread of photographs, will follow later. In the meantime, I like to reflect on the world which becomes vastly improved when gazing upon lakes, particularly from on high. During this particular occasion, we were most fortunate to arrive at Vilarinho das Furnas Dam, (Canicada, too), during a windless hour. We don't think we've had better moments of reflections encompassing the sky, clouds, mountains and flora plus other surroundings.
We left the high ground to approach water level, providing at least two perspectives.
I think that's a smile...sort of. Meanwhile, we enjoy the symmetry at rear.
Our first hike took us up some 2,200 feet and then dumped us back to earth later.
We explained to the kids what happens to one's teeth when one does not floss and brush.
Jen raised her cap. Regretfully, not to me but probably the magnificent surround.
Should we have a negative outlook, it would still be very difficult to find a reason not to live below (Canicada Dam and Lake).
Talk about getting away from city life...we understand.
Under water, on the surface, and above the lake.
It's not what you think as might be construed by one of our harsher critics.
While the thin layer of water ahead appears to be a separate pool, the reflection of the rock on the surface seems to create separation. Nevertheless, it's all one body of water.
Height always provides perspective and invariably, enhances the beauty.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
