The silhouetted trees and the reflections in the lake make for a very nice sunset shot.

This morning I was reading about "Yousuf Karsh (December 23, 1908 – July 13, 2002) was an Armenian-Canadian photographer, and one of the most famous and accomplished portrait photographers of all time (Source)."
Great photographer w/ hundreds of superlative portraits - below, just a presentation of some of the many actors and actresses that he photographed (Keynote composite) - Dave

We were visiting the Roman quarry in St. Margarethen, listening to and watching the opera "Tosca". Smartphones had to be turned off, before the performance started, and we were asked not to use the flash when taking pictures. Here are some of my photos with the DSLR:
It looks like it was a wonderful performance. You got some great photos.

Yesterday afternoon, Susan & I took an afternoon trip just 30 minutes west to the Yadkin River wine area of our state - visited 3 wineries new to us emphasizing 'sweeter' wines made mainly w/ American, French American hybrid grapes, and fruit wines (her preference these days - I'm a dry guy), many of which tolerate the North Carolina weather better than the classic vinifera varietals - ended up w/ an early Thai dinner close to home.
First visit to Garden Gate Vineyards, a rustic, quaint, and small winery making a wide variety of non-vinifera concoctions (had a merlot & zinfandel, which I did taste) - bought 2 bottles there - first pic below of the Yadkin River w/ vineyards (some beautiful scenery driving these country roads); the winemaker & his wife (who sells her pottery in the tasting room) in one of the composite images.
Second winery was Sweet Home Carolina - nearly all non-vinifera grapes, many American varietals unknown to me - bought 3 bottles there (all for Susan) - also a farm w/ miniature horses, donkeys, dogs, and a bird - the labels are delightful most featuring their animals, which can be seen (an activity we will do on a future trip).
Last vinous visit was Misty Creek Vineyards, my favorite because there was a mixture of vinifera, decent American-French hybrids, and still some fruit wines (Susan selected a single bottle of a blueberry wine; I picked up 3 bottles, a non-oaked chardonnay, a chambourcin, and a traminette - pics below). I was particularly fond of the chambourcin & traminette, both hybrids that do well in our climate - the traminette is an American hybrid crossed w/ Gewurtztraminer which was floral bouquet but really not sweet taste - those two were the winemaker's favorites @ the moment.
Early dinner on the way home at Chada Thai - we shared the fresh rolls and also two dishes, a curry one w/ fish balls (a fav) and a sizzling crispy duck w/ plenty of veggies - we like mildly hot but one can go ALL the way w/ heat, if desired - a pleasant afternoon w/ great weather - will do again soon - Dave
