I have to admit that the above image is NOT the perfect image for use with the Lake Applet. But I was so astonished when I first saw it that I had to try to use it.
Why was I astonished? Because the above image, is just a part of an artwork created ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO ~ in 1503 ~ by one of the world's great masters, German artist Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). I have featured perhaps his most well known artwork in the Art Puzzle Section of this site and I refer you to the bottom of that page for some background data. The painting , a watercolor and gouache on paper and 41 x 32 cm. in size, is in the Graphische Sammlung Albertina, in Vienna (currently closed). You may see the complete painting entitled "The Large Turf" on many WWW sites including the Paris WebMuseum site.
The image is quite large. I did not compress it in order not to degrade the image.
