Braided Green

Bird’s eye view of the Rakaia River braid-plain, South Island, New Zealand en route to the Pacific ocean. The larger channels (light blue) of this ancient fluvial system are more than a hundred metres wide. On a sandy beach the creation and destruction of similar, though very much smaller scale, processes may occur twice daily at the whim of changing tides. Part of the NatureShop set.
