    Ever since I was a kid, I dreamt about exploring the farthest reaches to find a place where I felt most pure and connected to nature. I always had this one vision of walking through a dense forest in the mountains. As the forest would start to thin out, it opens up and gives way to a lake so calm, it's reflection is clearer than the real thing. I would just stand there, completely alone and struck in awe, a smile would emerge and I would finally realise what life is about...

    Love the story in your caption here, it goes well with this wonderful landscape that you have in front of you. Great work with the composition of this image as well as exposing for the sun that is touching the mountain side.
