The crystal clear water of this lake had all kinds of beautiful colors ranging from blue to turquoise. We hiked the loop around the lake which was about 7km leading us along the lake and through partial forest.
I only had a few minutes to scout and shoot at the Eibsee, Germany. When I saw this golden birch tree standing lonely on that island, I knew I had to get the long lens out and get an isolated shot of it. Now, one year later, this is still one of my all time favorites. I just love the contrast between the dark greens and the bright golden leaves. The reflection is really cool as well. Since last year I have been to the Eibsee a few times, every time I had very limited time to explore the area, but funny enough I always got nice images. The area, especially the forest is just so beautiful... #golden
