You push off from the quay and the lake takes the lead: reeds whisper past the hull, a heron lifts like a slow exclamation, and the mountains keep a quiet watch. The boat skims glassy shallows where patches of marsh swing with dragonflies; villages with stone roofs appear and vanish like lived-in postcards.
