"Who comes to the lake for water and sees the reflection of the moon."
-Rumi.

Hello there, everyone. I am here today showing you how beautiful nature can be. It's incredible how relaxing and peaceful it was in Lake Anna, VA. I used to live there with my Dad before he passed away. It was in early 2013, I moved there for a few years. At first, I was scared to live way out there in the woods on the lake. Then, I realized how peaceful it is there, and I started to capture many sunrise mornings on the lake.

I would wake up early to try to catch the sunrise. Every morning was so different and unique in its own way. The entire lake would reflect the pink light. It was so amazing as it was tranquil. You could always hear the lake waves caused by a boat of someone fishing. I would always see and hear a fish jump up out of water. It was such a relaxing time. A great way to soothe yourself from everyday life stress and just breathe.

I used to take the bread and feed the crows that live there. They would actually follow my van or golf cart I drove down to the lake. They knew I had bread and would literally fly with me while going. The sunrise was always so intense, full of nature at its best. It was always such a scenic sight to see. It would be meditation time just being there and viewing the sunrise over the lake.

Check out the following photographs I caught of beautiful Lake Anna, VA. in the Windwood Coves neighborhood. Most of the pictures are sunrises. Early in the morning, around 7:00 AM EST, it peaked. Each morning was simply gorgeous and looked like a painting. I have added a lake or nature quote to all the following photographs of Lake Anna, VA. below.

What a peaceful place Clove, I would do the same as you did and wake up early to capture the sunrise, or wait for those sunsets. I love how light creates a visible bridge over the water. Great place and photos!

It is very peaceful, I miss it a lot! The sunrise was the only sport I could capture great photos, it was kinda hard to capture sunset photos there, I was not near any great spots for sunsets.
