These photos I shot in a remote artificial lake in my area. It was once used as a recreation area, but the current conditions made it very quiet. The surface of the water that looks flat, almost without ripples, reflects the nature around it and the sky. In the reflection, clearly, everything looks upside down and seems to display the underworld.
A few flying dragonflies, and plants creeping along the shore of the lake, do not make the atmosphere there to be crowded, but on the contrary, it adds a sense of quietness. An atmosphere that seemed so perfect for meditation, where, it felt like, the body seemed to float a little to like being between two worlds, the perceived upper world and the lower world to be aware of, or like being between the reality and the idea, but which the clearest, of course, was between things and their reflection in the lake water.
And all of that is then reflected into the mind as a variety of things that hardly imitate the reality seen there. This latter reflection is, of course, complicated because the mind is not as flat as the surface of the water without ripples, and it is clear that it is not always clear.
