The brown/red stained water is more likely Tannin from an ancient oak copse that has been swallowed up by the peat when the climate changed and the trees died - Peat also produces dark run off( see your previous pics of streams where the water is brown ) the presence of old oak accentuates the colour .

Thanks again Happyman, great to learn these things.
The effects of nature in places such as this area of our little country are quite amazing. There's a bit of everything showing on this particular photograph, one way or another I thought.
The River Esk also which runs through The Valley had some beautiful locations.
It meanders through all sorts of landscapes, cascading down here and there, forming tarns along it's route and eventually reaching the sea. I thought the photograph above showed some real beauty.
