"When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in." D. H. Lawrence


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lake Doxa

Lake Doxa is an artifial lake located in Feneos in Korintnia. It is surrounded by forrest  heavily dense on the north side overlooking Helmos mountain. It is truly an amazing place to be at. These shots were taken during sunrise between 6-9 am in two morning shoot outs. The lake has various spots with great backdrops where you can take advantage of the glorious morning light. The last shot was taken during sunset. The sky was not at its best but the slope with its reflection looked to my eyes like a shape of a vase (or a tall glass depending on your vision) lying down. Hence I composed the scene so it looks like one.
