@scottkranz
Lac des Chéserys provides an excellent place to practice your reflection photography. The massive mountains in the background are mirrored in the crystal-clear lake and after you shoot, you can spend the rest of the time in awe while the setting sun casts a dreamy glow against the natural landscape.
