Lake Fauler See / Der Faule See
Faul can be translated in very different ways, but when it comes to smal mountain lakes one would expect it to mean that the water turned unpalatable and stinky or somesuch. Yet this is just a lake that might be leisurly and relaxed. It smells okay as befitting a biotope next to a picnic area, and it is teeming with wildlife / Bei "Biotop Fauler See" denkt man ja eher an etwas umgestandenes muffeliges Wasser, allerdings war das gar nicht der Fall. Drinnen gab es viel Getier zu sehen und es stank auch ueberhaupt nicht. Mit einem Brotzeitplatz daneben ist das ja auch besser so. |

Anyway, nice capture =)
Faul can mean anything between just lazy (in humans or critters lounging about for example) and already decomposing (in veggies past their prime). In a lake I would expect rotten and smelly at least part of the year dangerous, but as the inhabitants show, it seems never to becoms bad enough to kill it's fish, amphibians, cadflies and similar, at least not in the last few years.
