The German language has a beautiful poetic word, "Abendstille". It describes the sounds of silence in the evening: all is quiet except for the song of the nightingale, the soft murmur of water, the whisper of the wind in the trees. You get the picture.

"Abendstille" is always the first word that pops into my head when I look at this photo of Lost Lake in Alaska. We had arrived at the campground around 10:00 pm., pitched our tent and finally went down to the lake. The scenery was so peaceful - the colors that the midnight sun painted in the sky were reflected in the water, a lone duck quacked softly and tiny waves rolled gently onto the shore. A perfect "Abendstille" whose magic I tried to capture in this picture.

Do you have a special word that reflects in your creations?
