Did you ever get a chance to sit at the bank of a lake? 

I remember, once, on a short trip to the mountains, my friends and I stopped for refreshment. While others chose to go inside the resort, I preferred to do the opposite. There was a beautiful lake in front. I went and sat down on a rock. I believe that moment captured me for life. I found peace in the burbling noise of the water. 

Shimmering waters, riveting reflections, and incomparable moments of quietude make the lakes for some of the most spectacular sights on Earth. Whether they are descending from the mountain ranges or flowing smoothly from overgrown forests, lakes are all things magical and beautiful.
