This photo shows the sand bars in Badwater Creek as seen from the bridge on US Highway 20 north of Shoshoni, Wyoming. This location lies new the old townsite of Bonneville, in Fremont county, Wyoming. Badwater Creek has very little water most of the year but in the spring and early summer, water, which is mostly runoff from rain and melting snow, sculpts the sandbars in the sediment clogged channel. Geologist refer to this type of creek as a braided stream and the sandbars in it are referred to as braid bars. The bridge and this portion of the creek lie in Boysen State Park.
After take-off, our pilot flew the plane towards the Icelandic coastline of Skeiðarársandur with its long black beaches.
Looking down over Skeiðarársandur, a vast plain of black sand and ash came into view. And then the object of my desire... endless small rivulets weaving abstract patterns in the sand. These river braids appeared to span the entire range between Skeiðarárjökull glacier and the sea.
The Yukon may not be what you think of when you see images of braided rivers, but I assure you there are plenty there to go around!
These braiding rivers have so much character, but with a bit of reflection and sediment they almost seem to float over the land. Almost a magic experience!

Hraunfossar Waterfall, Iceland.
Hraunfossar is one of the most interesting and unique waterfalls in Iceland. It is formed by rivulets streaming out of nearby lava field and pouring from porous lava ledges at different elevations on its ace. It is spread over almost 1 km of length and it offers many opportunities for intimate landscapes.

Looking down over Skeiðarársandur, a vast plain of black sand and ash comes into view. As the well-defined river braids near the sandy beaches along the coast of Southern Iceland, their form becomes less defined. At the mercy of the strong winds and flat beaches, the braids get washed out.

On my solo walk on the FLICKRPHOTOWALK I was lucky enough to find lots of textures in a famous castle called Marsvinsholms slott here in Ystad, Skåne, Sweden.
This caught my eye particularly since everything was an old kind of lamp with beautiful details, like these braids. You can see they are old but at the same time so well kept.
I´m wishing you all a HMM!!!

It's a little grainy (ISO 1600 seems to be always that way with this camera), but I liked it.
Oh, and by the way - hair, once again, not by me, but by Miss Jaya. Miss Jaya is allowed to do very time-consuming things with Katie's hair, bless her.
A girl without braids is

We came across a small group of men on our way to visit a village near Ramathra in Rajasthan. They were ostensibly making braid, but I think it was their equivalent to our knit & bitch sessions! We stayed here www.ramathrafort.com/ It was certainly way off the beaten track, and quite an experience.
One of the few places to find braided rivers is the South Island of New Zealand.
A river will meander or braid depending on how quickly the river banks erodes. A river with cohesive banks that are resistant to erosion will form narrow, deep, meandering channels, whereas a river with highly erodible banks will form wide, shallow channels, inhibiting helical flow and resulting in the formation of braided channels.
Sometimes these rivers can change from meandering streams to a raging river the total width of the river bed.This is the Waimakariri River.
