There's something about rushing water that I can watch for hours and feel as if I need to do nothing more. It's alive in a way that's greater than any description of it.

We've had a lot of rain, so the creek's are rushing full on once again. I was in Mosquito Creek park, and only had my macro lens and no tripod, but when I saw this little "waterfall", I knew I had to capture it with what I had. I pressed my camera against the fence to hold it still and managed to get a clear shot. Can you hear that water rushing?
We are going to Vancouver Island for early family Christmas so I will be away from Flickr till next week. We had a big winter storm yesterday with snow and wind, and all the ferries in the afternoon and evening were cancelled. So here's hoping tomorrow will be calm, because we need to be on that ferry....
Point where the North Thornton runs amiably into the Thornton River. The property is owned by a craft distillery which graciously allows folks to sit and enjoy the view.
GLOW 2018 Eindhoven - Confluence is an idea of two opposite parts that at some point come together formed the starting point of the exploration of this concept for a new show. How, in what color and what form can this duality of light and shadow, black and white, dark and colour, be expressed?
GLOW 2018 Eindhoven - Confluence betekent “samenvloeien” en dit idee van twee tegenovergestelde delen die op een bepaald punt samenkomen vormde het beginpunt van de verkenning van dit concept voor een nieuwe show. Op welke manier, in welke kleur en welke vorm kan deze dualiteit van licht en schaduw, zwart en wit, donker en kleur, worden uitgedrukt?

"Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind."

Windmills at Kinderdijk The Netherlands
From my archives, taken in March 10 years ago.
Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, belonging to the municipality of Molenwaard, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder in the Alblasserwaard at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best-known Dutch tourist sites. They have been an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. ( Information Wikipedia )
