Country - China   China
About Lugu Hu, situated at 2690 metres above sea level is a wonderful place for photography. The mountain in the background is Gemu, at 3775 metres. A cable car can take you most of the way to the top, from there you climb a few hundred steps further to the observation area. Even very fit people will be breathing hard after that effort.

A large number of ducks are in the foreground of the photo, but are difficult to see.

One final note, the best thing about Lugu is that it's remote enough and sufficiently difficult to get to that it discourages mass tourism. Anyone who has been to China will know that the biggest problem at popular spots is overcrowding.

Beautiful shot, James - there's a real sense of peace in this photo.

Did you do any postediting of this in Photoshop, or is this straight out of the camera? Amazing blues.

Hi Sqirl. As for post editing, nothing except a +4 on the colour saturation. Lugu Hu is an alpine lake and the cleanliness and colour of the lake is truly amazing. That is on the sunny days, on cloudy days, its another story. You really need to see it to believe it.

It must be quite a view from the top of that mountain, this lake is beautiful and you have captured a real richness of color. The ducks look like little ripples on the water. Alison
