Photo Essay: Lakes, Streams, Waterfalls, Rivers, Sea,..

May 17, 2008

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 -

Jog Falls

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
