Excursion: near Hellela in Valais II
There are few natural lakes in Valais that I know of. The region we've been exploring over the last week (around Visp) has one of the lowest levels of rainfall in the country and that necessitated a complex network of canals connecting sources of water such as natural springs and glacier run-off to the meadows where the cattle grazed. Shown here is one of the artificial reservoirs made as part of this system.

Stunning...
Wow..even if it's manmade, it is still very beautiful!
This is a glorious image of a most beautiful lake - man-made or otherwise. I did not realise that any part of Switzerland suffered from a shortage of water. It always looks so wonderfully green in photographs.
I have to agree - this one's a keeper.
You’ve done it again. Superb!
oh wow, how beautiful!
Ah... I miss the Valais. There is so much natural beauty in all of Switzerland. :)
OOhhhh...I love the reflection in the water.
