Midge Lake

So that you don't feel it is ever so romantic and that you are missing out, I will say right away that the Lac du Der was beautiful, completely calm, balmy warm, and swarming with midges. So tonight we went to feed the midges.
It was simply an excuse to get out of doors, and where better to go than the largest lake in Europe. There were lots of camper vans at the part we visited, but not many people by the lake itself. We took a walk and found out why. Still, it was too nice to not walk so we simply kept moving!
Nice on arrival Boats at rest (no wind!)

Sun just set

After glow
When we arrived, the sky was lovely. And the boats pretty with their reflections in the water. Then as we returned to the car, the sun dropped below the cloud and turned everything blood red. Even after it had dropped below the horizon, the reflection of the red clouds persisted for many minutes. Even the midges seemed to stop and take a look.
