Eifel - Laacher Lake - Before Sunrise
An early autumn morning at the Laacher Lake, a few minutes before sunrise.
This is one of the moments, for which getting up early is really worth the effort. The wonderful light in the sky was there just for some minutes.
Eifel - Laacher Lake - After Sunrise
Just half an hour later, thick fog came in from the east and covered the landscape.
The Laacher Lake is a water filled chimney of an (not totally) extinct volcano, see (sorry, I didn’t find suitable English ones) this German information page and this one about the history.
