A rustic wooden bench awaits company in the midst of Slovenia's serene, autumn-kissed forest. As the leaves carpet the ground, it's the perfect spot to just sit and soak in the peaceful vibes.

Удивительный парк под водой озера Gruner See (Грюнер-Зе).Amazing park under the water of Lake Gruner See.

Зеленое озеро в Австрии – одно из 300 озер страны, но это озеро особенное. Расположено оно в горах Хохшваб, недалеко от маленького поселка Трагос на высоте 776 метров над уровнем моря. Это озеро является одним из самых необычных и красивейших природных явлений в мире.Озером оно является только полгода, в весенние и летние месяцы. К зиме вода Зелёного озера полностью испаряется под солнцем. На его дне, покрытом травой и деревьями разбит парк, со скамейками, дорожками и уютными уголками. Всю осень и зиму туристы могут прогуливаться по этому парку, любуясь чудесными видами природы.

Загадка Зеленого озера кроется в том, что с приходом весны, снег на вершинах гор Хошшваб начинает таять, стекать вниз, и уровень воды стремительно возрастает. В этот период он увеличивается от 4 до 6 метров. Озеро разливается вширь и затапливает все, что окружает его: зеленые луга, цветы, деревья, узкие тропинки, лавочки, мосты. Все это продолжает зеленеть и цвести, сохраняя свою первозданность. Водный покров настолько чист и прозрачен, что сквозь него видно ландшафт и водных обитателей озера, которые спокойно плавают между элементами парка Грюнер. Максимальная ��лубина Зеленого озера весной достигает 12 метров, а температура воды в нем колеблется от 6 до 14 градусов со знаком «плюс». Сказочная красота манит к себе туристов и дайверов. Green Lake in Austria is one of 300 lakes in the country, but this lake is special. It is located in the Hochschwab Mountains, near the small village of Tragos at an altitude of 776 meters above sea level. This lake is one of the most unusual and beautiful natural phenomena in the world. It is a lake only half the year, in the spring and summer months. By winter, the water of Green Lake completely evaporates under the sun. At its bottom, covered with grass and trees, there is a park with benches, paths and cozy corners. All autumn and winter, tourists can stroll through this park, admiring the wonderful views of nature.

The mystery of Green Lake lies in the fact that with the arrival of spring, the snow on the tops of the  Hochschwab mountains begins to melt, flow down, and the water level rises rapidly. During this period it increases from 4 to 6 meters. The lake spreads wide and floods everything that surrounds it: green meadows, flowers, trees, narrow paths, benches, bridges. All this continues to turn green and bloom, maintaining its originality.The water cover is so clear and transparent that you can see through it the landscape and the aquatic inhabitants of the lake, which calmly swim between the elements of the Grüner Park. The maximum depth of Green Lake in spring reaches 12 meters, and the water temperature in it ranges from 6 to 14 degrees with a plus sign. Fabulous beauty attracts tourists and divers.

Lying There, April 2024

I've been looking and I realised I don't actually have many photos with Christmas themes even though it's my favourite time of the year. So have a bare tree and some green as compensation.

Yellowknife, NWT (No. 8)

Frame Lake is located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. It is an 84-hectare (210-acre) endorheic freshwater body located between the city's downtown section and a larger residential area. The Frame Lake Trail circles it, and city hall and the territorial legislative assembly building are on its shores.

Formed by meltwater after the end of the Wisconsin glaciation 20,000 years ago, Frame has been an important part of Yellowknife's history. The Dene in the area used it as a fishing spot before European settlement. In the early years of the city's growth, gold mines nearby dumped tailings in it and sometimes sewage. Later, when the city's New Town, now its downtown section, was surveyed and developed nearby, Frame offered accessible swimming and boating opportunities.

However, storm sewers diverted much of the runoff that fed it. Later development blocked the lake's only outflow, leaving it endorheic and complicating the problems caused by earlier pollution. By the early 1970s it no longer supported any fish; within two decades residents had stopped swimming or boating it out of fear of leeches. Subsequent studies have shown that the lake completely eutrophied sometime in the mid-1990s. They have not, however, been able to determine whether that was due to climate change, pollution or some combination of both; the possibility exists that the lake has always been at a higher trophic state than others in the area.

Some city residents have agitated for efforts to reclaim the lake so it will once again be a destination for swimmers, anglers and boaters in warm weather. To do so, it will be necessary to reoxygenate the water to the point that fish can again inhabit its waters. This could be accomplished either by aeration or dredging, which would remove the accumulated rotted organic matter on the lake bed that currently renders it anoxic when the lake is frozen over in the winter.
