Something I find very compelling about Lake Lewisville is that, despite being man-made and located within one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, when her natural beauty is revealed it can be breathtaking.

On a bright winter day in early January, I decided to take the kayak out and reconnect with the lake. With no wind to ripple its surface, the water was like glass – a perfectly polished mirror reflecting the deep blue sky. There were very few people out that day and, with the wind and water being so still, the noise from the nearby interstate highway was the only real reminder that I was still in Dallas and not a truly remote and wild area.

This video was made from images captured using a GoPro Hero 2 and an iPhone 4. Production work was done on an iPad 2 using 1st Video software from VeriCorder Technology.
