@Japanalia: Yes, you are right! Even I was not in a "peaceful age", I loved to be at lake inside colours of summer nights, they gave to me somehow energy to live those busy ordinary days. Thank you for coming by!

@Elena Kotrotsou: Elena, there are tens of summer cottages around the lake, but I am only one at lake by boat during sunsets, usually it`s a perfect silence, sometimes airplanes to Japan brake this peace for a moment, but they are flying very high over the lake :) Thank you for your comment!
@Dawn: Thank you, Dawn!
@hajar: Yes, Hajar, I understand that and I am very happy about it. Thank you for stopping by!

A wonderful photo. Reflections and colors are beautiful. Photo suggests solitude and tranquility. The tone is one of wonder and majesty and mystery. Well done!!

Hi Leena!
Sorry for the long absence! But don’t you think it was a great vacation; some very busy weeks and just a few days off... ;)
WOW! Awesome!!
Meanwhile Blogtrotter is still turning around Iceland, now in Waterland... Enjoy and have a fabulous week!

The kind of picture that could possibly incite me to go back to Finland (for the 200th? time)!

Leena!!! I feel this is the most spectacular sun-related shot you've ever posted... absolutely wonderful!! So perfectly composed and executed... simply incredible colors and symmetry... and such a cooperative cluster of clouds! I'd have commented earlier but I had no interned while on vacation. Thanks so much for sharing your good fortune and your skill!

Näistä ja tästäkin ei voi olla pitämättä ja erityisesti näissä marrastunnelmissa. Ikuisena iltaruskofriikkinä tämä kolahtaa myös mainiosti. Tunnelma on niin kotoisa ja sanoisinpa kuin itse olisin kuvannut. On se hyvä, että
sielläpäin on ainakin yksi huippu 'taivaanrannanmaalari' ;-) (tämä sitä teasingiä).
Oikeesti hyvä kompositio ja värimaailma. Silti miten on, oisko toi horisontti aivan aavistuksen oikealle kallellaan ???
