Glide low over a lake and the water no longer shows a giant copy of your hang glider. Lakes and rivers reflect the hills and sky where they really stand.

Follow a creek down to a lake in a new world and its water runs right into the lake instead of stopping on the sand a few steps short. Look along river and creek banks, especially on the bends: the water’s edge follows the ground instead of 4 meter stair-steps and straight lines.

Walk into a river or lake with your dog and its paws splash as your own steps do. Every animal does the same: a sheep, a horse, a wolf or a hen walking or running through water splashes.
