Ohiopyle Falls, Youghiogheny River, Pennsylvania
“River is time in water; as it came, still so it flows, yet never is the same.”
- Barten Holyday
American geography can be a bit confusing; Ohiopyle Falls State Park is not in Ohio, it's southwestern Pennsylvania, and the river that carved the gorge through the park is the Youghiogheny; definitely not spelled like it sounds (pronounced yawki-gay-nee). Both names come from Native American peoples; they are Anglicized from the original Lenape meaning "frothy water" and "flowing stream".
With the evening light of the setting sun, the falls and the upstream rapids that feed them are mesmerizing to watch.

Hamburg - Moments
Hermann Claudius and the Hamburg Underground
In the Jungfernstieg underground station near Hamburg's City Hall, the alert observer sees some strange signs. On one is written:
"The century's seven
maidens have remained the same.
And I old oak stake
stand here at the same mark."
I hear the message, but the meaning is far from me. But wait, there is indeed a pole, illuminated and full of sculptures. It is an old driven pile that was uncovered during the construction of the Hamburg underground in the 1930s. It belonged to the weir built around 1250 on the Alstermühlendamm - a forerunner of today's Jungfernstieg. History at your fingertips - great. A construction worker is also commemorated here. Otto Liss had an accident during the difficult construction work in November 1932 and died shortly afterwards. Visit Hamburg's history in an unusual place - take the underground.
A photo of the Ottumwa Hydro Dam taken from the north bank of the Des Moines River with birds circling the turbulent waters, The hydro-electric station in the foreground was built in 1930-1931 and the gates were replaced in the 1960s. There is currently a plan to rehab the dam again; a $50 million project that would span a 15-year period.

Light shining into Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona. It is a beautiful slot canyon that you climb down into. There are a series of ladders throughout.
Watching the waves roll in. Standing atop a groyne above the level of the previous one and looking down. I loved the pattern the waves were making as they ebbed and flowed.
A small section from the top of Cliff Gilker Falls, becomes its own tiny world. A scaled-down version of the larger. The smooth flow of water in a "close encounter", becomes an elegant and dynamic landscape. The golden coloured rocks help define edges, while the water takes us on a small journey of its own.
Spring time in the park and there are a multitude of compositions. However, the rocky rim limits my movement, and has me teetering with caution. This somewhat personal or intimate landscape leaves me wondering about the minute worlds hidden from my view.
At Myakka River State Park in Sarasota, FL.
Lately we have noticed this side of the dam has been cleared and we were able to walk out and take a wide shot . We found out demolition of the weir will begin in March. I imagine they know how the water will flow afterwards, but I imagine there will be big changes in the lay of the land. Lots of activity and wildlife on a Monday morning.
