[QUOTE="hark, post: 784792, member: 13196"] As I was on my way home from an errand, I passed by this lake. Coincidentally it offered a similar view to the original image except for the lake vs the grass and road. I didn't have my camera with me but went home and got it making sure I had my 16-35mm lens. So I took the first pic to resemble the original image's perspective.
