Downside up
Posted 2 photos, which demonstrate why float operation from flat calm waters require special skills and techniques. Can you tell, which photo is correctly upright? :)

Yes, this is the original "right side up" one. I just happened to notice that it's quite realistic either way.
From this spot I continued in the evening to Lake Kiantajärvi, which is much larger lake. And it was completely flat calm. Above the lake was impossible to say if you're 10ft or 100ft above the surface unless there were objects like fishnet marks or so. Turning into final, when you pretty much see just the water (= the image of the sky), it feels a bit wild :)

Hello Ari, I agree with Bob that I think this is the upright( based on the sky color)? Beautiful picture either way.
