Return to the Green Lake
It’s been over two years since my last visit to the Gröntjärn lake, so I was really looking forward to today’s trip. Gröntjärn is one of my all time favourite (photo) locations, and I used to enjoy every visit there. And there were plenty of visits, during those five years I lived in Ljusdal.
The most interesting thing about this little lake is the water level. I’ve seen it at almost flood level, and I’ve seen it shrink into small pools. Today, it was something in between, and as beautiful as ever! Judging by the shoreline, it looks like the water level hasn’t been very high in the past years. Plant life is decorating the shores with its greens and even trees are starting to get a hold on the slopes. But, come next flood, and the shores will be stripped bare again.
What a great day, visiting an old favourite and finally doing that long motorcycle trip I’ve been talking about. Lovely!

What a lovely scenery! I guess that you used a polarizer ’cause the colors are so strong?
Yes the polariser was a must for this picture. There was a lot of glare on the water but the filter really cut through it, giving me this lovely green colour that was true to the name of the lake.
Speaking of the polariser, I almost broke it yesterday… dropped it in rough sand. Miraculously, no scratches!
