I watched this launch for a while making very slow progress against the outgoing tide and the flow of the River Thames. He appears to be moving but hardly at all in reality. A larger outboard motor is recommended.
Germany, Wedel, the untouched mudflats of the Elbe on the river bank & the Wedeler Marshland, about 25 km upstream from Hamburg.
The Wedeler marsh is part of the largest nature reserve in Schleswig-Holstein's Elbe foothills along the Elbe & is an important resting place for migratory birds.
In the meadows & the reed islands in the Elbe Watt on the marshland, snipes, lapwings, bluethroats breed, among others, & peregrine falcons, white-tailed sea eagles & Tundra swans can often be seen. The "Nabu", the Nature Conservation Union, founded over 120 years ago, has a large station there for observation, scientific studies & general education

Some spot as the previous photograph, but looking upstream. Lots of ice-frost on the trees, but visibility is limited.
The leaves swam up the sidewalk.
Lime green, chartreuse, brown.
Over the cement they went,
out of the gutter and on.
Three of them made it. Two
had eyes, the other one, blind,
was led by their ripples in
the stream, a beam of light.
People strolling on the urban
river at times glanced down, saw
them struggling against
the odds. Everything made new.

Sunset light dances with the clouds as we look upstream into evening along the brightly reflecting, sinuous curves of the Paria River, Paria Wilderness, Arizona. From this spot, the traveler is 8 miles upstream from the confluence of the Paria and the Colorado Rivers, at Lees Ferry.
Arriving at this particular bend in the river, and staying here for when the evening light burst forth, was the result of two related turns of event. First, our group of 6 had been leap-frogging all day long with another group of 9 who had come to the canyon from San Francisco for a repeat journey. The kids in their group were all older and stronger than my youngest, so the group leader graciously offered us our choice of campsite, since there aren't many with access to spring water, and it's easiest to coordinate cooperatively with those with whom one is sharing the experience. So I asked my youngest whether he would rather walk an 8 mile day today and another 8 mile day out and back to the car after that, or whether he'd prefer to cut it short to 6 miles today, if he was tired, and have 10 miles to make it out to the car on the morrow. He thought for awhile, and then opted for the first scenario, as he was feeling pretty good, and he didn't fancy walking 10 miles in the shadeless inferno of the wide latter reaches of the drainage. So, we cranked out a couple more miles as the light crept toward later afternoon, and found ourselves at the established campsite right about at dinner time.
Second, upon cursory inspection, it was clear that the established campsite was unusable if one desired any sort of relaxation or comfort. Numerous, great Harvester Ant mounds were scattered about, and situated unfortunately proximal to the best cooking and sleeping areas. After a brief discussion, we left the ants to their ministrations, and continued downstream to a nearby sandbar. We rolled out sleeping bags on a tarp, the boys caught singing toads in the shallow water of the river while hollering once in awhile about quicksand, and I made spaghetti bolognese using home-dried tomato sauce leather and freeze-dried ground beef. Then, the clouds began, and I let my dinner get cold.
In 2000, two local boys discovered dinosaur tracks on Flatbed Creek, a couple kilometres upstream of these falls. Since then, the Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia area has been a hotbed for paleontologists, with discoveries of many other trackways and bone beds.
An extensive hiking trail system is maintained in the area by the Wolverine Nordic and Mountain Society and includes trails down to the original trackway discovery and also down to this waterfall. On hot summer days, youngsters come here to jump off the rocks into this pool. Just be careful to know where the water is deep enough and please take your garbage back out with you.
Trout Creek in Summerland. It’s greened up significantly during the last month. There has been a lot of work here to build spawning grounds for salmon
there is a thrush who sings a beautiful song, but then she is upstream, a long trek away. Kalhatti falls (upstream).

I've not managed to have the time to shoot a lot recently. I've not even had the time to post and follow up images on Flickr. I did manage to get off a couple hours early one evening this week, though, and headed for the mountains to get in a few hours wandering around with my camera. It's amazing how much difference it makes. I went to Jakes Creek outside Elkmont in the Smoky Mountains, though I spent more time on the Little River than Jakes Creek. I wanted to play some with Nik's new HDR Pro 2, and had that in mind when I shot this scene of the upper Little River. This is HDR.
A few days ago I was walking the riverbed near North Beach here on the farm, and the river presented another treasure from decades past: some kind of Deco style glass bottle. There's a mark on the underside: DWIN and a K inside a crest vaguely shaped like a crown. Google hasn't been very helpful in locating a match. Oh well. Its probably a generic medicine bottle.
Anyway, its one of many river artifacts we've found over the years, and after what has to be at least fifty years on the river bottom, it now sits on my windowsill.
Wet plate collodion glass negative. Made with the B&J Watson 5x7 and Voigtlander Petzval lens.
I've had this idea for a while, but much like the challenge of swimming upstream, it was difficult to shoot. First of all, I was rather nervous about placing my new camera and tripod in the moving current! Second, it had been raining recently, which made the current that much stronger. And finally, I may have re-injured my broken finger as I had to hold myself in place with my hands, my feet had no support...
Now that I've shot it, there are so many things that I'd like to change! I may revisit this one! If only I had a model...

This shot was taken only a few meters upstream Huka Falls. The still waters that even reflects the image of the trees above it and the green tones just cannot make me think of the roaring white waters downstream. Instead, the trees form like a shelter. I found it really surprising to see how things can seem so calm while, so close, hundreds of cubic meters of water are flowing through a 15 meter wide canyon every single second.
