Wow, great site and pictures ! The second one makes it best for me, the lazy bug, feeling the warmth of the day  ;)

"After Dawn" is spectacular. I loved finding the duck.

The place look familiar.  Another vote for the second one.  The captured atmosphere is fantastic!

Great series, Armando.  Beautiful reversed reflection in the last one. Love the second one, the mood, colours are impressive.

Congrats.

Maybe you've seen Lord Snowdon's portrait of JRR Tolkein that's actually closer to Armando's first image!

The whole place has a bit of magic, regarding Aguinaldo's comment I related it to the movies , not necessarily to the writer, anyway , it is nice to see a portrait of Tolkien

Beautiful images, Armando. The standout for me is "After sunrise".

I believe that it is a popular place to visit - it must be quite a challenge to capture images that are free of people.
