Samsung NX10: Lake Gouët, My French Hometown

Following is a collection of pictures that an NX10 user took in France.

Today I decided to introduce you “Le Gouët”. It’s a lake located close to my hometown in France, where I enjoy the beauty of nature since I am a child.

Brief history

It is a drinkable water reserve for all the villages that stand around, an artificial lack; the water is maintained by a dam build in 1978. Nevertheless, it is an amazing wild place where live a big number of birds and fishes. For me, who has born in 1986 and who’s always seeing this area as a big water reservoir, it’s incredible to think that before, “Le Gouët” was a tiny river as being shown on the engraving below made in 1892.

Activities around the lake


At this time of the year, people enjoy to pick mushrooms, chestnut, or wild berries. With my friends I regularly have a beer by the shores waiting a fish bites our hooks. It’s a refreshing and quite place but It is also where I become exhausted trying to follow my father who is an experienced jogger. Today it becomes my favorite place to walk with my Samsung NX10 in the hand.

I grew up with this lake


During my childhood I built many wounds on trees close to the water. Then, when I grew up I had parties on its beaches, playing guitar around a campfire and slipping in a rudimentary camp. And finally I used this peaceful and romantic place as a seduction tool by having a moment without word with a woman I’ve met, who became later my lovely mate.

I love to take pictures of “Le Gouët”


Lake Gouët has various colors depending on seasons. Spring and summer are the best period to capture bursting colors, but automn and winter are also lovely for its delicate texture. It gives me powerful imaginations with its changing tones. I just appreciate all that I see around the lake. Such a comfortable feeling, when I simply go for a walk, or even with electronic musics. Since I got the Samsung NX10, what my feelings tell can be exactly realised by images.
