I took this photo last autumn because the water in the boating lake in my local park was sparkling clear and looking #Green
The complimentary colour of autumn leaves add to the effect.

#AutumnLeaves
Sunlight dancing on shallow water, the green tinged silt makes the water green. Heightened by the contrast of autumn leaves floating on top. Bottom of the photo are the edging pavers of the pond.

A dream like view of Tallinn in winter. A combination of monochrome old town and bright lights of the city in the distance. No editing/filters involved.
Some people dream in colour some in black and white, why not both?
