City Creek is a small mountain stream that flows year-round from City Creek Canyon, a Protected Watershed and Nature Preserve. The source of water is melting snow along with natural springs.
Downstream from this spot is The City Creek Water Treatment Plant, which processes the water and then supplies it as drinking water to the Avenues, my neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This spot is four miles up from the City Creek Canyon Trailhead.

At 120 meters by 120 meters, Plaza Mayor is one of the largest urban squares in the Americas.
It is paved with huge rounded stones and surrounded by magnificent colonial structures and a charmingly simple parish church.
Only a small Mudejar fountain in the middle of the square, which has supplied water to the inhabitants of the village for almost four centuries, breaks the vastness of the space. Unlike most Colombian cities whose main square is named after historical heroes, this is traditionally and firmly called Plaza Mayor.
The carved groove in the stone is part of the water supply system that still works today to bring fresh water from a nearby spring to Machu Picchu. Planned before the city could be built, the hydrology system sloped at a consistent 3° from the water source.
Fjallabak Nature Reserve ( Iceland's southern Highlands) 20210717
Founded in 1979, the Fjallabak Nature Reserve is considered one of the most beautiful regions in Iceland. Covering an area of 450 km², it is made up of three glaciers supplying a multitude of rivers and lakes in ancient volcanic valleys. The landscapes of the Fjallabak Nature Reserve are provided with a prodigious mineral environment, generated by the simultaneous action of fire, water and ice. They are more broadly part of the Highlands of Iceland, a huge wild, and sparsely populated region. It is through its situation on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet, that the intense volcanic activity of the archipelago has its origin. This has shaped Icelandic landscapes for 150 million years and the plates continue to deviate by some 3 mm per year.

The African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) or the African sea eagle, is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur. This species is related to the bald eagle of North America
For those who are interested, an extract from my Journal of that day:
After lunch, a two hour siesta and high tea, we went on an afternoon game drive. It wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was what the German couple wanted, so I went along with it.
Owner was determined to find yesterday's leopard, so we drove around all over the countryside looking for it. We saw elephant, giraffe, buffalo, lechwe, impala, kudu, pelicans and four crocodiles, but no leopard. Only as we approached the camp in the dark at around 7 o'clock did we see the leopard. It was, walking along the bush track towards us, we pulled off the track to let it pass. The light was impossible and not a single shot was taken.
Dinner was a traditional African meal, meat, beans, cabbage, butter nut squash and mealie pap (a corn porridge) all prepared and served African style.
Bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges gehörte das Dorf Konau hinter dem Elbdeich zum Landkreis Lüneburg, nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erfolgte wegen der fehlenden Brücke über die Elbe mit entsprechend zu erwartenden Versorgungsschwierigkeiten aus praktischen Gründen im Juli 1945 eine Übergabe an die sowjetische Besatzungszone und daraus folgend die spätere Zugehörigkeit Konaus zur DDR. Durch die Lage im so genannten Schutzstreifen der DDR-Grenze blieb die für die Siedlungsgeschichte an der Elbe typische Marschhufenbebauung im Ort bis heute erhalten. Nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung wechselte Konau wieder nach Niedersachsen in den Landkreis Lüneburg zurück.
Until the end of the Second World War, the village of Konau, located behind the Elbe dyke, belonged to the Lüneburg district. After the Second World War, due to the lack of a bridge over the Elbe and the associated supply difficulties, it was handed over to the Soviet occupation zone in July 1945 for practical reasons, and Konau subsequently became part of the GDR. Due to its location in the so-called protective strip of the GDR border, the village has retained the typical building style for the history of settlement on the Elbe to this day. After German reunification, Konau returned to Lower Saxony in the Lüneburg district.
This highly attractive building was constructed in 1929 for the German Motor Company, an automobile dealership which had long roots in Jacksonville selling the Buick, Marquette, and Oldsmobile lines of motor cars, with Pontiac added before World War II. During the war years, the property also saw use as the Black Louis Filling Station.
In 1947, the Longstaff Motor Company took the property and were selling Pontiac and Packard automobiles. Later, in the 1950s, the building was the home to an automotive supply company.
It was after mid-century that the automotive use of the building ended and it was repurposed as Boyd Music, a popular business throughout central Illinois for their band instruments (including our daughter's). Since I took this photo, Boyd has moved into one of the old garage bays and now focus on instrument repair. Today the main part of the building is BLH Computers, a central Illinois business who sell and repair PCs.
Founded in 1825, the City of Jacksonville is the seat of Morgan County. The city had a population of 17,616 at the 2020 census.
Three shot blends are my theme for today. The African fish eagle (Icthyophaga vocifer) or the African sea eagle is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur. I took these photos in Botswana's Okavango delta.
