Memories from decade ago, from one of our family travels to the Ladoga lake in Karelia, Russia. (It is considered as the largest lake in the Europe, almost like a little sea!) Agreat place of energy to be, a great place to challenge your tourist skills and so many more. I became in love with those 'melted' rocks from the very first time I saw them back in 2006. Oh, and could not but mention that the capture is made using my 1st digital camera, Canon EOS 350D - a few years later, in 2018, I already managed to get a full-frame 5D. (Currently I upgraded it to 5Dm3). ![2016_ladoga_1236+topaz.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/qwerrie/241QTSfbakxG6fr6A9B58EsyUvaQ6P1QwGqvwVmsRq7s4BW3riVC2wVYMqwVtFbTCnfoi.jpg) NB: the photo below is slightly enhanced using Topaz Photo Ai - 50mm lens is not ideal for capturing landscapes, heh. I selected the photo for #Photofeed landscape challenge of this week; the images [shared last week](https://peakd.com/hive-153349/@photofeed/photofeed-contest-landscape-photography-round-160) were so amazing that I could not resist to contribute something from my travels (tho I dont have too much to choose from...)
