The image that could be perceived by the viewer can be varied based on who is reading it and when. To one eye it could appear to be a desolate landscape, while on the other it can be viewed as an open lake that creates calamity and welcome into one's eye. Though the colors are darker and less inclined to create a welcoming atmosphere, some people may consider the isolation to be an escape from the basics of every day human life. A vacation of sorts.
