Wow.

One day, decades ago, my GF and I were driving through Germany from Munich to - Vienna, I think. Anyway, it was summer, and we had all the car windows down, and it was getting to be evening - just a the end of the golden hour, when things start to fade into darkness.

As the road wound out between some hills, we suddenly came out into a view almost exactly like this: a lake, surrounded by wooded hills, with the shores lined by houses, all lit up. They were more cottage-y, and less dense than this, but this captures really well that feeling I had coming upon an almost fairyland scene.

I don’t remember the name of the lake, or even where it was. For all I know, it was a glimpse into Faerie.

Thanks for the post, though. I’ve never seen anything that quite captured that scene.
