Golden Hour on the West Lake

Tranquil and mesmerizing. This is how I would describe the 'West Lake' in Hangzhou (China). The lake has influenced many poets, writers, and artists throughout the Chinese history, simply because of its natural beauty, and this has led to creation of numerous masterpieces from them.

Watching this glorious sunset from here gave me a sense of calming power and peace. This photograph is my attempt on capturing the essence of what I saw with my real eyes.
