Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, [info]renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

Grünersee

 Кристальное озеро Австрии. Грюнерзее (Grünersee)

 Возможно у многих Австрия стойко ассоциируется с горнолыжными курортами и вкусным шоколадом. Единицы вспомнят Иоганна Штрауса и ежегодные балы. Но этим Австрия не ограничивается. В ее горах есть огромное количество озер, в которые можно и нужно нырять. Видимость там бывает разная - от пары метров до нескольких (!!!) десятков метров. Есть такое озеро Зелёное, или если на немецкий лад, то Grünersee, в нем вода совсем даже не зелёная, как следовало бы из названия, а голубая и прозрачная. Можно было бы упрекнуть автрияков в поголовном дальтонизме, но они правы - снаружи озеро действительно кажется зеленым. Весной уровень воды в озере сильно поднимается из-за талого снега, в среднем на 3-4 метра, затапливая ежегодно тропинки, лужайки, мостики и лавочки. Но при этом видимость сохраняется совершенно волшебная - метров 30, наверное, а то и больше. Именно в это время нужно там оказаться, чтобы своими глазами увидеть пресную воду озера при полном отсутствии бьющих со дна артезианских источников. Глубина озера не превышает 10 м весной и в начале лета, затем уровень воды падает, она прогревается и начинает "цвести". Так что летом Грюнерзее, вероятно, и становится в полной мере зелёным. 
 
полюбоваться пресной водой еще )
