This is looking the other direction from my last photo - upstream on the Red Deer River. I'd love to do a kayak trip on the Red Deer....All I need now is a kayak.

Taken from more or less the same spot as the previous upload, this one taken several days later following a night of heavy rain in the Welsh mountains.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Passau, Germany, on the promenade along the Inn River, just upstream from the confluence with the Danube.
😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄!
Window grate, door, manhole cover and stone wall are all rusty, and the door and drainpipe are at least rust-colored.
Purling Brook is a fine feature of Springbrook National Park most especially as it tumbles 105m from the escarpment. However the view upstream provides an appreciation of the flora of the sub-tropical rainforest the stream traverses.
On a cold dark December morning. A boat passes under the Tacitus bridge at Ewijk, heading upstream towards Nijmegen, or beyond that, Germany.
On our last day in Patagonia, Chile.
Even the water looks very shallow, it is deceiving. It was all day trip. Wind was so strong that it was pushing us upstream on some places.
In blue boat was our friend with his guide
Aspects of York on 5 & 6 October 2022.
Looking downstream under the Ouse Bridge, the middle one of the three road bridges across the River Ouse in York centre, which was completed in its present form in 1821. It is on the site of, or very close to, earlier structures that date back to the Vikings, a wooden bridge having been reported as collapsing in 1154. The earliest bridge in York was built by the Romans on a site a few hundred metres upstream from here, not far below the 1863 completed Lendal Bridge. Further downstream is Skeldergate Bridge of 1881.
With side light and ripples. This stretch of the River Esk [at Grosmont] is popular with fishermen for Salmon and Trout. A few jumped while I was taking my shots, causing ripples. The river flows slowly here and there are normally nice reflections.

Thank you for stopping by, and for your kind comments and faves. They are greatly appreciated! :)
A little further upstream, along the still-quiet brook at the bottom of the valley, the light of waning winter.
Back from a weekend in Algonquin where the weather was wet, the colours were beautiful and the company was good.
During the recent trip to South Wales I took advantage off the geography and headed under the Severn to Bristol for a long anticipated trip along the branch to Severn Beach.
The place definitely has an off-grid feel about it and, unsurprisingly, seems to beat to the rhythm of the tidal Severn estuary which dominates the landscape - along with the Prince of Wales Bridge crossing lying less than a mile upstream. Add to that a legacy of industrial and shipping infrastructure in the area - some still used, and some abandoned.
Helpfully, the turnaround of the train I arrived on was a decent 37 minutes - ample time to take a few photographs and partake of tea and a bacon butty at Shirley's Cafe just around the corner. Not enough time to explore the place with serious intent however - that will have to wait for another visit.
This shot captures GWR's class 165 'Networker Turbo' unit 165132 ready to head back with the 12.01pm service to Bristol Temple Meads (2K25).
Looks best full-screen.

This time a kayaker gets into the action. But if you look closely you'll see a very different crew to the one I posted yesterday (see the next shot).
Looking southwest and upstream from where the blacktop road crosses the creek (just below a couple of old barns that Jim and I photographed during August 2016).

Little River, Great Smoky Mountains NP, Tennessee. The main branch of the Little River flows through the tighly stacked mountains of the Smokies, pure and clear on it's way between Sugarland and Elkmont. I am always drawn upstream, against the flow, it seems. Working against gravity. Spring gives me strength, wakes me up, and along the river the forest, too, seemed to be waking before my eyes. The river took on the glow of the sunset lighting the hills and my eyes followed that color as far as the converging banks would let them, upstream, where I am destined to go.
Two grizzly bears met on the river bank, one travelling upsteam, one travelling downstream. It was a standoff. What happened next? Sorry, didn't see; it's one of life's little unsolved mysteries. Chilko River, BC.

The Emosson dam has a great allure. It lays in a grandiose site with an extraordinary landscape on the Mont-Blanc Massif. The dam is 80 m (262 ft) high, It has a thickness of 58 m (190 ft) at the base, and 4.5 m (13 ft) at the top. It is 250 m (820 ft) long at its top, at an altitude of 1,930 m (6332 ft). The reservoir has a capacity of 225 million m3 (about 75,000 Olympic swimming pools). This makes a magnificent lake. It is the 2nd artificial reservoir in Switzerland. Upstream from the Emosson dam is the Vieux-Emosson dam at an altitude of 2,205 m (7234 ft), built in 1955.
The Emosson dam was completed in 1975. It replaced a smaller dam, the Barberine dam, which dated from 1925. Built not far from the Franco-Swiss border, it is the keystone of a major hydroelectric complex straddling France and Switzerland, with 3 hydroelectric power plants powered by this dam

Une magnifique retenue d’eau
Le barrage d’Émosson a beaucoup d’allure. Il est dans un site grandiose avec un paysage hors du commun sur le Massif du Mont-Blanc. Le barrage fait 80 m de hauteur, il a une épaisseur de 58 m à la base, et de 4,5 m au sommet. Il fait 250 m de long à son sommet, à une altitude de 1930 m. La retenue d’eau a une capacité de 225 millions de m3, soit environ 75000 piscines olympiques. Cela constitue un lac magnifique. C’est la 2ème retenue d’eau artificielle de Suisse. En amont du barrage d'Émosson se trouve le barrage du Vieux-Émosson à 2 205 m d'altitude, construit en 1955.
Le barrage d’Émosson a été terminé en 1975. Il a remplacé un barrage plus petit, le barrage de Barberine, qui datait de 1925. Construit non loin de la frontière Franco-Suisse, il est la clé de voute d’un important complexe hydroélectrique à cheval entre la France et la Suisse, avec 3 centrales hydroélectriques alimentées par ce barrage.
