      Overcast day at Lagoa Azul, Ilha de San Miguel, Azores

      It was an overcast day looking at Lagoa Azul, San Miguel Island, Azores. In spite of the weather, the lake is in a beautiful setting, surrounded by lush vegetation and situated inside the caldera of an old volcano - the Caldiera das Sete Cidades.

        Leg Rower Pagoda Festival on Inle Lake, Myanmar.

        The Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival on Inle Lake is a wonderful spectacle each year. During the celebration, Buddha images are paraded around the lake by barges pulled by leg rowers. The boats are highly decorated and observers line up in boats and on the lakeshore to view this one of a kind colorful event!

            Lake Titicaca in Bolivia

            These alpacas get to enjoy a lakeshore view every day from their home on Lake Titicaca near Huatajata, Bolivia. Located in the Andes Mountains, and with a surface elevation of over 12,500 feet, this body of water is considered the world’s highest lake.

              Jade Spring Park (Hei Long Tan)

              Dating to 1737, sits the exquisite Jade Spring Park, a short walk from Old Town Lijiang, China, was like something out of a dream. Its delicate arched bridge and three-roofed pavilion on the lake in the foreground were set against the Jade Dragon Sow Mountain on a perfect Spring day.

                        Leg rowing fisher

                        Fishermen in the Lake Inle area of Myanmar practice a distinctive rowing style. They standing at the edge of their boat on one leg and wrap the other leg around the oar. The story is that rowing in this manner provides a view beyond the plants that float on the lake. I was greatly impressed at their ability to stand on one foot, row with the other, fish at the same time and not fall into the lake, as I suspect I would if I tried it.

                            Of the many fishermen on Inle Lake in Myanmar, this one caught my eye as he easily balanced on one foot right on the prow of his narrow wooden boat while simultaneously steering with his other foot and guiding his delicate net with his hands. His long skirt and elegant straw hat added to the indelible image.

                              Avery Island, where Tabasco Sauce is made, is a bird refuge for over 180 different bird species. Located along the shore of one of the small lakes on the island, which is surrounded by marshes, is a rookery for a number of bird species. The great egrets are there during the spring and use the rookery to build their nests and hatch their fledglings, as seen in the picture.

While strolling around its perimeter early one morning, I happened to see a spot where smooth, round rocks connected the land to the water. I loved the contrast between the rocks and the huge, jutting mountains, and seeing the white clouds and whiter snow-capped peaks reflected in the still water.

After hours in a bus wondering if it would be worth the long ride on bad roads, this is my first sighting of the second largest mountain lake in the world. Worth it, no? The Tian Shen Mountains in the background, a few specimens of the prevalent poplar trees, and even a local man on an opportune stroll wearing a kalpak, the traditional Kyrgyz men's hat, this first scene was typical of Issyk-Kul's charm. Yet it's the heated floors at the Karven Resort, right on the lakeshore, that linger in my memory. The brisk mountain air means a need for heat. Floors radiate warmth, cozy for the feet, great for drying sink laundry and easing bus-sore muscles.
