The fork featured in this minimalist lakeside photograph is a work of art created by the Switzerland-based artist Jean-Pierre Zaugg. It commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Musée de l’Alimentation, or Nestlé Alimentarium in English, in Vevey, Switzerland. The museum devotes itself to the history of food products.
The fork is an odd but fascinating object to find at the shores of a lake. The title “A tasty lake” therefore seemed quite fitting for this minimalist lakeside landscape photograph.
It was a foggy day and therefore a great day to capture the scene in a minimalist manner. A longer shutter time smoothened the water and a black and white treatment did the rest. The photograph is nicely soothing as a result.
The name of the lake in this photograph is Lac Léman or Lake Geneva in English. The mountain silhouette in the back is that of the French Alps of the Haute-Savoie.
Please visit the Minimalist photography theme for more minimalist lakeside photographs. This theme also showcases quite a few other minimalist photos captured at Lac Léman. The photograph titled A Day in the Office is a great example.
