The sun glitters on the cold waters of the high mountain lake in front of you. The course sand of the beach is rough against your skin. At the waters edge, only the slightest whisper of waves tickles your toes with the cool water. As you gaze into the shallow waters before you, reflections of the trees and mountains dance on the surface of water, so clear you can see the ripples of the waves on the sandy bottom.
