Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers. The Alice River @ the VII Mile after some recent rain. About the same spot I shot the river when it was as dry as a dead dingo's donga www.flickr.com/photos/67627528@N04/11991694004
The Alice River in central Queensland, Australia rises on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range. It has been very dry so the river is a series of waterholes - it needs a good flush. You can see the water marks on the trees from previous flows. The river bisects the Shire of Barcaldine, flowing in a south-westerly direction towards Isisford and its confluence with the Barcoo River to form Cooper Creek. Barcaldine is located on Lagoon Creek, which flows into the Alice River approximately five kilometre s to the south. The Alice River is often dry, except after the annual summer rains.
The Barcoo River forms the boundary of outback Australia with little in the way of civilization west of the Barcoo. Waters from the Barcoo and Alice Rivers flow towards Lake Eyre in Central Australia, while rivers further east join the Murray-Darling basin and reach the sea in South Australia. In 1846, Thomas Mitchell became the first European to see the Barcoo and Alice Rivers. The Alice River was named by Mitchell and Mitchell's name was adopted for the pastoral district and for its grass, Mitchell grass. (Source: Wikipedia)

One is a shining blue river. The other is dirty green. Both of them originate in the high Himalayas. While the Indus originates in the Changthang Cold Desert, the Zanskar river originates in the Zanskar ranges. Both these Himalayan rivers join at a scenic setting near the town of Nimmu in Ladakh.

Along the Santiam River, where the north meets the south. A confluence of the north and south Santiam and Willamette Rivers make their way downstream, navigating this rock channel and creating a series of little waterfalls.

A river is never one thing.
It is a gathering of journeys - of its many tributaries, big and small, each drop carrying its own memory of cloud and stone, of silence and storm.
A tributary does not vanish at its confluence; it continues, invisibly, within the strength of another. Even the quietest stream remains eternal in the memory of the river.
We are much like a river - if we allow ourselves to be.
The Nuranang Chu (Chu meaning river), born of snowmelt and cloud-tears high on the northern slopes of the Sela Range in the Eastern Himalayas, leaps a hundred meters into the Tawang Chu.
Its waters flow westward to the Brahmaputra, and onward to the sea - a reminder that even in merging, nothing is truly lost.
The Nuranang Waterfall at Jang - about 1,860 meters (~6,100 feet) - Arunachal Pradesh, India.
in Whirlpool Canyon, at the confluence of Jones Hole Creek and the Green River. We loves us a good confluence :^)

June 4th, 2013 - 44 Quiet Nights, Day 6 - A hike along Jones Hole Creek to its confluence with the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument.
We lucked out with this hike, a big rockslide closed the trail two weeks later (closure notice here). It's about a 40 mile drive in, a long way to go for a closed trail.
This is the confluence of the west and north branches of the Susquehanna River. On the north side of the west branch lies the town of Norththumberland, PA. On the east bank of the river is the city of Sunbury, PA and between the two at the mouth of the north branch is Packers Island. At the bottom of the frame, the town on the west bank is Shamokin Dam, PA.
