lake reflection
Still surface image
The mirror image of surrounding landscape visible on a calm lake's surface.
Mountains, trees, and sky appear inverted in still water, creating symmetrical compositions prized by photographers and painters: The lake reflection was so perfect I couldn't tell which way was up.
The phenomenon requires minimal wind and often occurs at dawn or dusk.
