One of a series of new stock images produced exclusively for Getty Images. This one is of dusk settling over Lake Thun in Switzerland.

Five of course is a Fibonacci number – and it’s always useful to know about Fibonacci numbers in composition. In the distance are the glaciers of the Eiger/Jungfrau mountain range.
