this country is not exactly short of water with its vast rugged coastline and the many inland lochs and burns.
whats more the water is clear and clean producing varied colours influenced by the location and ambient light.
on a calm day a loch will become a tranquile mirror reflecting the mountanous backdrop and peaceful sky. or it can be dramatic with gusting winds and raging torrents throwing the water to create a powerful stage show for its viewers.
as natures animals we are drawn to water, and this may explain its attraction for images that evoke a sense of well being - whatever mood its in at the time.
