sticking to the Finnish lake theme...

I love how the water here looks like quicksilver!

This is due to the pitch black lake bottom, and the perfectly clear air emphasizes it.

#Serenity on the east coast of #Iceland. In 2018, I traveled the #RingRoad with my best friend. The weather was gloomy most of the trip, and the nice days seemed to have happened before and after our arrival. I remember how calm the airport was and how much more relaxed the culture. Not all my photos turned out, but I greatly enjoyed the #countryside and #landscape. I spent a lot more time at this spot - one of my favourite places from the #trip.

A quotation from Joseph Addison

I have always preferred cheerfulness to mirth. The latter I consider as an act, the former as an habit of mind. Mirth is short and transient, cheerfulness fixed and permanent. Those are often raised into the greatest transports of mirth who are subject to the greatest depressions of melancholy. On the contrary, cheerfulness, though it does not give the mind such an exquisite gladness, prevents us from falling into any depths of sorrow. Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
