Jiuzhaigou: Rhinoceros Lake

NIKON D80, 50.0 mm, f/7.1, 1/13 sec, ISO 100 AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0

Rhinoceros Lake is just one of the lakes in Jiuzhaigou Valley (九寨沟), in Sichuan, China. It has a deep, fascinating green-blue colour which reflects the autumn painted trees miraculously. The footpath on the opposite side of the road is nearly empty; if you want to escape the crowd and have a little time with nature there, explore this area.
