I've been to Loch Ness and I think because I was there during the day, it was sunny, there were lots of tourists about it didn't feel so mystical to me. Growing up on the edge of the North Atlantic, I'm used to looking down into water so dark and cold you can't see anything below the surface, which does, I agree, lead to that sense that there are things down there we as humans could never understand or even imagine. -- Cindy's Cottage

You were lucky - it's not usually sunny there! To me, if I can't see my hand when I dip it in the water, it's scary. I also agree about the ocean, especially if one cannot see land and the skies aren't so clear. Yikes, talk about frightening. (NT) -- E, 07:11:21 07/08/09 Wed
- I don't think of the ocean (or most bodies of water) so much as frightening as something you need to be very respectful and mindful of, never take it for granted, never trust it fully and never turn your back. Although I suppose most people would fear something they regarded in such ways. I, however, love the ocean and can watch it in all its moods; I particularly like to watch storms on the ocean, that kind of power is awe-inspiring to me. Unlike, Pamela, however, I have no urge to actually go INTO the ocean during a storm :) (NT) -- Carla, 13:58:48 07/08/09 Wed
  - Many times I've been out fishing on a big lake, far from land, and when I look down to where the line meets the water, I often think of what might be lurking down there, just waiting to appear. My idea of perfection would be to live on a boat, named The Answer. (NT) -- E, 15:11:56 07/08/09 Wed
  - (Btw, I stole that name from the old TV show, Harry O, with David Janssen - anybody remember him? That was the name of his boat.) (NT) -- E, 15:16:17 07/08/09 Wed
