Bodies of water be they immeasrably large, quantifiably small, or in a state of constant motion represent a particular sort of serenity in the same way that open skies provide a sense of space and spaciousness, unbroken aqueous planes , such as lakes or seas, render a meditative point of focus and ,in so doing, a recognition of the scale of a landscape. it makes perfect sense that it is here, at the intersection of terra firma and terra incognita between land and the expanded horizon beyond that people choose to build homes.
