If anything in nature can be called magic, it must be water. And the enchantment of water flowing over rocks is so pervasive that people often travel hundreds of miles to see it.

Whether it reflects the sky, a piece of garden sculpture or a nearby graceful plant, water presents to the viewer an ever-changing picture.
