I took this meditative and relaxing landscape shot with the Nikon D800 (lens: NIKKOR 24.0-70.0 mm f/2.8) on one of the hot summer days on 15 August 2024 in the midday hours directly after a little summer rain. In search of time out and peace, I spent the remaining summer holiday days in the rural idyll of the Brandenburg region in eastern Germany. Here I used the time in a paradisiacal natural setting by an idyllic lake in the Brandenburg region to recharge my batteries for the coming school year. The strongly minimised composition of the picture, which focuses mainly on the bathing jetty, and the soft reflection of the cloud formation in the sky in the lake water enchant the picture motif in a meditative mood.
The reduction of the colour tones to classic black and white lends the nature picture a timeless and elegant atmosphere.
The picture motif is ideal for conjuring up a relaxing atmosphere in workspaces and bedrooms.
