My braid is never the same twice. Every time I dye it, its a new combination...
Purple, blue and some leftover pink manic panic and some plain old black dye too.
Rio La Leona, one link in the chain that carries glacial meltwater from the Southern Ice Field of the Andes all the way to the Atlantic. These braided streams seem to be characteristic of glacial outflows, or at least of high latitudes. cfpub.epa.gov/watertrain/moduleFrame.cfm?parent_object_id... says:
"Three conditions tend to promote the formation of braided streams:
"Erodible banks.
"An abundance of coarse sediment.
"Rapid and frequent variations in discharge.
"Braided streams typically get their start when a central sediment bar begins to form in a channel due to reduced streamflow or an increase in sediment load. The central bar causes water to flow into the two smaller cross sections on either side. The smaller cross section results in a higher velocity flow. Given erodible banks, this causes the channels to widen. As they do this, flow velocity decreases, which allows another central bar to form. The process is then repeated and more channels are created."
This area seems to have no. 1, and the seasonal pulse of glacial meltwater supplies no. 3, but I am surprised it would satisfy no. 2, as there's the giant (50 km long) settling tank of Lake Viedma in between here and the glacier. Unless the gravel streambed laid down in an earlier epoch suffices, or the eroded matter coming from the streambank bluffs.
Denali National Park (and much of Alaska) is full of braided rivers; I think this one is Teklanika.
Braided rivers are an odd lot, and behave quite differently from the rivers I'm used to dealing with. Being the result primarily of glacial melt, braided rivers are full of silt ("glacial flour"), which they are constantly depositing and picking up again. (You can see the gray areas of water in the picture, which are full of this "flour".) Thus where a "normal" river spends it's life carving out valleys (or even canyons) on it's way down to the sea, braided rivers are in fact filling valleys in, carrying the ground up dust of the mountains down to the valley floor.
Because of this they never keep to a single, well defined channel, because that channel would eventually acquire enough silt to push the river elsewhere. (Not unlike the delta region of a major river like the Mississippi.) Hence their name, as they weave braids all across the valley floor.
BNSF 2088, assigned to switching duties at Braid, brings a cut of hoppers southbound through the junction with CP.

Such a treat to have someone braid my hair!

A close-up of my braids after I got back home. I ended up re-doing some of them in the front because they were a little bigger than I wanted.
photo of Bianca and Michaela. cutest besties. I had an original idea of doing a concept with sky lanterns but the wind was too intense. but i got a lot of nice portrait shots and i think this is my favorite. (: now i really wish i expanded this photo.
These images are more than geographical documentation—they're visual meditations on scale, symmetry, and impermanence. Each composition evokes a painter's brushstroke or a vascular map, blurring the boundary between nature and abstraction.
I'm working on finding a really professional way to do my hair. I have the interview of my life coming up soon...to get into the college program I'm pursuing. I've been thinking a braid will be the way to go.
I took this picture and couldn't believe how crazy awesomely dreaded my hair is finally getting. Looking at this, I feel accomplished.

You don't see micro braids with beads in Mexico very often so this latino tapatio girl really stood out at the Chapala pier, Jalisco, Mexico, south of Guadalajara.
...and my big fat red lip ;)

Another successful attempt at a fishtail braid. Hope to post a pic of a french fishtail braid when it actually turns out decent.
I am not good at frenchbraiding my hair and I don't think it really looks good anyway, but it is one of the most comfortable ways for me to wear my hair. off my face and not heavy like a ponytail. it's funny trying to take a photo of the back of your head hehe.
