Water bodies have a charm that pulls them to me intently. I can spend endless hours sitting on a rock, dipping my legs into the gentle flow of the river. The sight of a clean and pleasing lake or a river fills me with an urge to get into it for a swim, or to sit on its bank and while away my time. Sound of waves in a lonely beach after sunset, or song of a river or waterfall give me a pleasure that I can’t describe. Would I have a choice, I would live next to a river, not too far away from the sea and go swimming the first thing every morning. Some images of the magic of water -
An unusual view of a section of Jog Falls – India’s tallest Waterfall.

All beautiful but the Mattupetty and Hirekolale are out of this world beautiful!
Amazing photos!! As for Jog falls, it’s not the tallest falls in India. It’s 11th tallest. Tallest is Kunchikal falls in western ghats, near Agumbe or so
The picture of the Tungbhadra river is an excellent one.
