#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Photo of a view across a small lake on a sunny day in late Winter / early Spring. Parts of leafless trees can be seen on either side of the foreground, framing the view along with reedbeds at the bottom of the image. More trees (singles and small areas of woodland) can be seen, along with sheep pasture, on the other side. The blue and partially cloudy sky above is reflected in the water of the lake, in the middle of which is a group of white birds (Gulls).
