Trout Quintet | 鳟鱼

The fish swimming at the port in my last post reminds me of the trout I saw in Blausee. Literally meaning Blue Lake, the Swiss Blausee has an elevation of 887 metres and boasts crystal-clear water. It's located amid a green nature park which I will talk about in another post. There's also a lakeside restaurant and a trout farm close by. You guessed it, trout for food (sounds cruel)... But today, let's focus on the trout swimming in the lake.

As you can see from my photos here, there is an amazing amount of trout in the lake. I captured some of these pictures from the shore, and others from a boat. I particularly like these minimalish portraits shot from a boat at the middle of the lake, where the water is deep with less other elements. Plus the reflection of the boat has added another layer to the frame.

上一篇的鱼让我想起在瑞士Blausee看到的鳟鱼。Blausee字面意思是"蓝湖"，海拔887米，湖水清澈见底。水里成群的鳟鱼游来游去，我从湖岸边和小船上分别拍了一些照片。

后半部分的照片来自湖的另一侧比较浅的水域。那时候强烈的阳光直射水面，很刺眼，而且水底的砾石颜色也很相近，看不清水里的鳟鱼。因为当时身边没有滤镜，我就透过墨镜拍了几张水里的鳟鱼，效果还不错。浅水区的很多鱼都是带有粉红条纹的彩虹鳟鱼。

最后来首舒伯特的《鳟鱼五重奏》，是马友友和Evgeny Kissin的演奏版本，都是心头大爱。

Below are more photos that I took from the shallower water in another part of the lake. At that moment, the water surface was dazzlingly bright with strong sunlight shining through. It's hard to see the trout and the gravels clearly, especially when their colors looked similar. Great camouflage for the fish I'd say! As I didn't have a filter with me then, I figured sunglasses could help as well, so here they are, more visible trout through my sunglass filter...

If you look closely, many of the trouts in this area are the Rainbow ones (I think) with a pink stripe. To be more sure, I did a quick search of the different types of trout, and here is some information if you are also interested:

At last, 2 versions of Schubert's Trout by 2 musicians that I adore:
