[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Loch Ness is a large, deep freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 37 km (23 miles) southwest of Inverness.
Loch Ness is best known for the alleged sightings of the legendary Loch Ness Monster ("Nessie"), although the loch itself is the true spectacle. Boat cruises operate from various locations along its shores giving tourists the chance to look for the monster.
The loch is one of a series of interconnected, murky bodies of water in Scotland. Quite large, Loch Ness has exceptionally low water visibility due to a high peat content in the surrounding soil. It is the second deepest (248 m) loch in Scotland, and the UK. Loch Ness is also the second largest Scottish loch by surface area at 56.4 km2 (21.8 sq mi) but due to its extreme depth is the largest by volume. The loch contains more fresh water than all that in England and Wales combined.

Hello,
interestingly convoluted pine-trees framing the tranquil loch behind with mild and pleasant light create a special atmosphere in this photo. Very well.

Best regards Kristof

Γεια σου Αρίστο
Μήπως τελικά το τέρας ήταν αυτά τα δύο δέντρα? Πάντως για εμάς του Έλληνες και κυρίως τους νότιους που δεν έχουμε λίμνες, μας φαίνονται πανέμορφες και κρύβουν πάντα ένα μυστήριο σε αντίθεση με τη θάλασσα.
Χαιρετώ Σωτήρης
