OCOLOY Day 107: L'Étang Bleu

The 'Blue Pond' is the flooded remains of the last open-cast iron mine in Paimpont which ceased operating in 1916. Today it is the main freshwater reservoir for the area and with a maximum depth of 60m it is is ideally suited to this task.

As usual the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

Best viewed on black if you can.
Love the black black trees framing and threading through the picture

I see the trees at your place are still bare. Here in the NE United States, they are filling in with green. So I am challenged here to get out my IR converted DSLR and see what I an do with that.

@vignouse Huh. I very enthusiastically agree with your philosophy of constant and never-ending improvement! ...I am a processing freak however, so I very much admire your opposite approach!
