Some years back, I visited Umiam Lake of Shillong, located in the north eastern part of India. It is an artificially created reservoir in the hills and it was created by damming the Umiam river in 1960. It is a popular tourist destination and many people keep on visiting the lake. What many people don't know is that there is a beautiful boat house in this giant lake. I was fortunate to spend one full day in the boat house amidst nature. It turned out to be memorable experience in my life. It was a family trip. We had plan of trekking but sudden rain washed out that plan. We were stuck in the boat house only for the major portions of the day. The nearest village was 7-8 km away. But we never felt bored. Most probably I'll like to go back to that place once again and I want to find that place even more magical during my next visit. Here I've tried to create a dreamy image of the place:
Here is the original photo for reference:

I edited the photo by a few tools and got the below mentioned draft output:

Then I inserted some animations into the picture. I changed the pattern of the clouds and made those moving. The lake water was looking very static. I animated the water a bit. I was in the mood of having fun! I inserted some flying particles and fog into the picture. I call it dream house. How is it?
This is the final output of my work:
