The world of silence

Sunday, 24 Sep. 2006 Rattvik



The train from Mora arrived at Rattvik. The weather had changed, the sky was all gray. I was going to go back to the hostel straight but maybe it was too early, so I decided to walk to the lake again just to kill some time.

The lake was dead calm. Absolutely dead. There was not a single ripple on the surface. The world looked like all black and white. I even didn’t see the border between the lake and sky. What is going on?



I have seen this kind of mirror lakes before, but those lakes were quite small. This one is not. The circumference of the lake is about 140 km. It was amazing that this large lake was perfectly still. This is the world of silence. I felt like I was in another world. Maybe this is the sign that the lake is calling me to make me come back here.



The dead silence lasted for 15 minutes or so. The surface began to ruffle again, then the lake got back to normal with regular ripples. Maybe that was just the time of lull. Though, I would never forget that silence.

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my
iphone and tested to see if it can survive a
30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I
had to share it with someone!

Review my webpage: airplanes games
