The Beauty Shining Upon the Waters

This has such a hold on one's mind it holds you still with mouth open wide the autumn colours are so breathtaking this is beauty sublime makes one abide It brings such glorious memories to me years ago spent an autumn week in the lakes there in English lake district at Rydal water looking out at breakfast having corn flakes On the lake was astounded by the view it looked like glass covered sea such colouring blew the mind away one just is stilled relaxed and free This has also such a crystal effect water unmoved for it shows the power it says don't dare come near me the rule is mine showing like any flower These trees make the perfect contrast with the waters scene so astounding this is a picture you want to keep view it at your leisure but never doubting (Memories of an autumn holiday at Rydal water in English Lake District)
