From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Finke River is one of the largest rivers in central Australia. Its source is in the Northern Territory's MacDonnell Ranges, and the name Finke River is first applied at the confluence of the Davenport and Ormiston Creeks, just north of Glen Helen [1]. From here the river meanders for approximately 600 km to the western edge of the Simpson Desert in northern South Australia [2]. Usually the river is a string of waterholes, but it can become a raging torrent during rare flood events. In extreme events, water from the Finke River flows into the Macumba River, and thence into Lake Eyre, a total distance from headwater streams of around 750 km. Major tributaries include Ellery Creek, and the Palmer and Hugh Rivers. The Finke River flows through the West MacDonnell and Finke Gorge National Parks.
The Finke River was named by John McDouall Stuart in 1860 after an Adelaide man, William Finke, who was one of the promoters of his expedition.[3] The indigenous name for the river in parts of the Northern Territory is Larapinta[4], which lends its name to Larapinta Drive, which runs west from Alice Springs, and the Larapinta walking trail.
[edit] Antiquity of the Finke River
The Finke River has long been cited as "the oldest river in the world", particularly by tour operators, and in popular books and brochures. In places such as the James Range, the Finke flows through deeply incised meanders [5] (see Google Maps image). Because meanders only form on flat plains, the river must have formed before the ranges were pushed up; this happened in a mountain building event referred to as the Alice Springs Orogeny which peaked between 400 and 300 million years age (Devonian to Carboniferous Periods) [6],[7]. Therefore, some parts of the river’s course must have been already in existence around this time. But southern parts of its course must be much younger because the areas where the Finke now flows near the southern edge of the Northern Territory, and further south, were under the sea during the Mesozoic Era [6], part of the Great Artesian Basin.

Foto esposta alla mostra sui 4 elementi tenuta dal collettivo22 al Caffè dell'Arte dal 23/2 al 1/3
La mia interpretazione dei quattro elementi si rifà all'uso (abuso) che l'uomo ha perpetrato nei secoli, utilizzandoli a proprio piacimento quasi fosse il padrone e non il semplice custode di un bene dei propri figli.
Sa genti mala circada sempri su martzu aundi no du è… accabbaidda!
La gente cattiva cerca sempre il marcio anche dove non c’è… finitela!
The bad people always try march where not there is… stop!

Dette er et av mine bidrag til Twitter Photo Challenge 004 (TwPhCh).
Her er det jord, luft og brann representert ved "Fire snake" som slanger seg oppover og har tydeligvis spist opp vinden, her er det ingen vind igjen. Men du all verden for en herlig kveld! Kan tro det var fint å nyte noen kalde pils på terrasen på firmahytten og nyte denne flotte utsikten! Livet er herlig!
Må bare legge til at min opprinnelige plan for denne ukens bidrag litt i vasken når jeg ikke fant de elementene jeg behøvde for å få min ide på plass. Men men, kanskje neste gang!
Mer info om bildesettings finnes under EXIF data, har justert litt på kontrast og toner, samt litt på eksponeringen på vannet i nedre høyre hjørnet da dette ble noe lyst.
Practicing some studio styles to work my way into more of the commercial fashion side of photography.
Photo taken at Tyne Riverside Country Park Sensory Community Garden. www.warrenwoodhouse.webs.com | The photo is of a Garden Spider found in the Sensory Garden of the Tyne Riverside Country Park in Newburn, Northumberland, United Kingdom. The photo was taken without filters and without flash, just a straight up Macro photo taken using a 18-55mm lens (I typically like to be within the 35mm range.). This is the photo I've submitted into the pool during the "Four Elements" 2018 theme challenge on the Flickr Friday group. Photo taken using a 2015 Nikon D3300 DSLR Digital Camera and while using a 4-speed 32GB SD Card from SanDisk.

This is V2.1 of "The Gaang", a commission for a friend on an Avatar fansite. There will soon be a V2.2, as they have asked me to make a few changes.
In the Tasting of the Four Elements commitment ritual the couple is presented a different spice from which they will then together take a small taste. The couple has a glass of water to cleanse their palate after tasting each spice.
The sour taste of lemon represents the sour feelings you may get from the compromises you have to make in a relationship.
The bitter taste of vinegar stands for the bitterness you feel when you experience challenges that are hard to understand in life.
Cayenne represents the hot passion in a marriage.
The sweet taste of honey symbolizes the sweet times in your relationship and the sweet rewards when you cherish your relationship.
In this shot, Katie and Shannon are tasting the honey - something they were really anticipating after the lemon, vinegar and cayenne.
Original costumes are the best. I have to admit, these were probably some of the most original concepts at Norwescon this year.

Desde los tiempos antiguos se dividió el mundo en cuatro principios básicos o “elementos”: tierra, agua, fuego, y aire. Este punto de vista ha cambiado sobre todo con los avances de la ciencia, pero los cuatro elementos todavía son válidos en la Magia, porque se conectan más de cerca a las emociones que las explicaciones modernas del mundo.
