The lighthouse of Podersdorf on Lake Neusiedl in the eastern part of Austria, situated in the Pannonian Steppes. This tranquil place is a well known windsurf spot, where the World Cup takes places every year in spring.

The calm waters and reflection show off the tranquility of this place.

Beautiful light and tranquil colours, and great reflections.
Very peaceful -
A couple spots in the sky could be cleaned up - 1 to the right of the lighthouse, and 3 just to the left and up.

Looks like you've got some little halos left over from processing. It could be the sharpening and downsizing causing that. Otherwise, this is wonderful - especially the lovely light. Well done!

It definitely fits the theme and it's a nice scene, Peter. A very nice composition also. There's a couple bits of something floating around the litehouse that could be cleaned up. At first I thought it was dirty spots on my monitor then I scrolled the image and they moved with it.
