Oops! I've fallen the in the water (again) when my parents told me I couldn't get into it. I never *really* meant to. really. :-) Now Gwen is pouring the water out of my Wellies. My brother is making his escape, not having anything to do with this foolishness.
A stream running down from Dartmoor in Devon. This shot is near Mary Tavy, on the west edge of the moor.
Small stream falls at Clydach Vale, the rocks are coated in ferrous orange so there may be a high iron content there
This past summer I went hiking with my daughter and some friends at Monte Sano State Park. I noticed this spot and thought it might look nice with water flowing or with fall leaves on the ground. I found both today.
My dad and I walked to a stream that ends at Lake Michigan. It was very cold, the lake was frozen and it looked like the arctic.
Eskers are the result of sand and gravels deposited by streams that flowed within or under glaciers. Although its hard to tell in this photo, the vegetation on the esker differs from adjacent areas because of the esker's coarse soils. This particular esker is supporting a rare plant community (threetip sagebrush/bluebunch wheatgrass).
In the early 21st century Seoul began a massive urban renewal project aimed at increasing 'greenspace'. In October 2005 the first link - the Cheonggye Stream - was opened. The Cheonggye Stream Project restored a paved-over riverbed and lined it with paths. Supporters said it would increase greenspace and moderate heat in the city, though detractors said that some of the most exciting 'real Seoul' neighbourhoods - such as the Cheonggye traditional market - were destroyed as part of the renewal, and that the 'improvements' made the traffic even worse.
There's no doubting the popularity of the Cheonggye Stream - even before the light show gets going in the evening - and there's a permanent display (with sounds) to give visitors an idea of what a royal procession would have been like.
