I thought it was time for some proper light so this is a photo taken at Easter in the French Alps. The mountain lake is Annecy and it is just beautiful with crystal clear water surrounded by views of the Alps.
If you use your imagination you should be able to breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Our children loved the place so much that they wanted us to emigrate!
More from Annecy tomorrow....

Links to other Photoblog sites that I have found inspirational:
Hugo Poon Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.
John Leech John Leech is an extremely talented graphic designer and photographer living and working in the beautiful and dramatic English Lake District. He has been so encouraging and influential in the development of my photography that it's difficult to know how to thank him enough.

@Phil: Thanks Phil - I did try unsharp mask LCE to deal with the haze but it didn't improve things so this shot is as it was straight from the camera (apart from resizing)
I like this shot. Great background and people. I actually don't mind the haze. :)

@Keneth: Thanks Keneth - It was a beautiful warm spring day in the mountains. The haze wasn't the same at all as the hazy light you might get in a city with smog problems so I didn't mind it either!
I love the background. Great shot.

@badala: Thanks Badala - it was a beautiful place!
Wow Ian, what i like about this shot is the way you have placed the subjects off centre, exposing the whole gorgeous view. It gives a feel as if i am on that bench. EXCELLENT!!!

@Cathie et Michel: You are very lucky to be French and to have so many beautiful places like this on your 'doorstep'!
Quite beautiful. I would like to go there one day.

@Viewfinder: Thanks Viewfinder - I think its possibly the most beautiful town of its size that I've ever seen!
Allthough I'm going on holiday tomorrow, I've preloaded enough shots to cover the break including another 6 of Annecy - wait till you see the town itself (Sunday is the first true 'urban' shot). Please come back and have a look and let me know if you agree.
PREVIEW ONLY
