Humans have a special connection to water. After all, 60% of the human body is water! Being around water can bring us a sense of calm. Whether it's a still mountain pond, the roar of ocean waves, or the sounds of a rushing creek, the soothing sound and motion helps us feel good. We can enjoy this indirectly by viewing photos of water scenes.

RELAXING-SPOT-IN-THE-EASTERN-SIERRA_Z6Z2877: When I see spots like this on my hikes, I often have one of two reactions. Standing water like this can be a haven for mosquitoes, in which case I usually get a quick look, then hurry on by. Other times, like this one, they can be free of bugs, and I usually stop to linger. I found this one to be particularly photogenic, with the still water & the tall peaks in the background.
