The alpine lake at the top of the Timfi mountain in Epirus, Greece.
It's called "Dragonlake" because according to the Greek mythology big dragons used to play there throwing rocks at each other, etc.

The real name DragonLake though comes from the small lizards that live there that look like little dragons, the Alpine Newts or Alpine Tritons as they're called.

I wanted to capture the DragonLake with the sky painted in sunset colors, but the weather thought differently, so I was saved by going up there early, and having shot this frame earlier.

That'll do until I meet with the Dragon Lake again at 2250m altitude!
