It took me a little bit to come up with the right word for this picture. I wanted to say something about the hazy line of trees at the end of the lake, but the right word was escaping me. It's not really a 'vanishing point', as that requires some set of parallel lines that draw into each other.
The word was 'horizon', "the apparent line that separates earth from sky" (thanks, Wikipedia!). "At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains, etc." In this particular picture, the horizon is dotted with a line of trees/islands, which appear hazy, I suspect, at least in part because they are 'on the horizon'.
This picture is from our trip this past summer into Lake of the Woods. Sony NEX-6. Processed as a single image on Photomatix, and then sent through Aftershot Pro for cropping and other adjustments.
