She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent.
Taken at 5:30am across from Lake Tanuki, in Shizuoka, Japan earlier this summer. This was part of a spur-of-the-moment road trip on my own, driving out in the middle of the night and wandering around the lake looking for the perfect vantage point. Several hours of waiting later, I was able to take this photo.
10-stop Heliopan ND filter was used to open the shutter long enough to smooth over the ripples on the lake's surface, which was otherwise quite choppy due to a brisk morning breeze.

Really like to have been closer and got more of this reflection, but the kayaks were fenced off ~sometime things are for a reason
