A Walk Round the Lake at Divonne-les-Baines, France, Part II

We continued to walk round the rest of the lake. It's an idyllic spot with the Jura mountains in the background.


The soft afternoon light through the trees along the water edge is very pretty.














There are so many beautiful views looking back towards
the town of Divonne and the mountains.









It's quite a paradise for taking in lovely scenes.



Here's a closer look at the island in the middle of the lake.




The late afternoon sun makes for fantastic reflections in the water.


The lake is calm at this end and it almost looks like the water would support being walked on.











As the sun sets it gets closer to time to go home, and we near the completion of our loop walk.
Here you can see the view to the other end of the lake, where we started out earlier.











In the 'Port', there's a sailing club where it's possible to rent wind surfs, rowing boats, kayaks and also rowing skiffs. We're eager to try out the rowing skiffs sometime.





It's a fabulous place to be out on the water.

This place is so beautiful. If I can feel the serenity just by looking at the photos, I think I'll just melt there.

Great shots!
