Reflection of a man in a small mountain lake while trekking to Sandakphu

The reflection of a man who was standing beside one of the lake of village Tonglu attracted me to take this frame. His attitude made me feel that he was enjoying the air, feeling the serenity of the small hamlet. May be he was a tourist but his presence in that unreal environment sensed to me like a soul of that hamlet.
