a temple with a mountain behind, surrounded by trees and a lake. It seems an idyllic setting since the trees form a green cathedral of silence and the lake is its soul.

Lakes trap images of the sky and its moods and they are rightly compared to the human soul with its moods and transient images and fragments of memories.

As you said, @slowwalker, the lake holds autumn, mirroring its beauty and deepening its melancholy.

Beautiful photos, my friend.
