Emerald Lake Braies 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

The green comes from glacial rock flour suspended in the water, not from anything alive.

Lago di Braies sits in the Dolomites in South Tyrol, and the colour that makes it famous is powdered rock ground fine by glaciers and held in suspension, scattering light back as green. There is a wooden boathouse on the shore that appears in roughly every photograph ever taken of the place, and it is in this one too.

Water and mountain in equal measure, which means a large low-contrast lake surface and a reflected range that looks similar to the real one but is not. The boathouse is the anchor point. Clementoni HQ Compact.

Perfect for: Anyone whose screensaver already looks quite like this.
