Riffled city

 

Blue-blue skies

 

Riffles on the water transform the city seen.

Fall and the water

 

Foliage in the river

Another view of fall in the water.  Flipped vertically, of course.

update on December 9, 2024...  The photo was run through the "They See Your Photo"  https://theyseeyourphotos.com/  online app - it uses the Google Vision API to reveal the story behind a photo:  

 

 

The image shows a reflection of trees in a calm body of water. In the foreground, we see the overhanging branches and leaves of trees, some with vibrant green foliage and others showing hints of autumn colors. The background is a clear blue sky reflected in the water, creating a mirror-like effect. The water acts as a canvas displaying an inverted, almost surreal image of the surrounding forest. The entire scene appears to be taken in a park or woodland area, somewhere where nature is still abundant and calm. The clarity of the reflection suggests still water with minimal disturbance.

The picture seems to capture the serene beauty of autumn. No people are present; however, one can imagine the peace and tranquility a person might feel observing such a scene. The image evokes feelings of calm and contemplation. The scene suggests an outdoor setting, likely in a park or forest, during daylight hours. The subtle variations in leaf color suggest a time of transition between the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, or an early autumn season.

The most striking detail is the almost perfect symmetry and clarity of the reflection. Every leaf, every branch, and even subtle variations in color are mirrored precisely in the water's surface. This degree of stillness in the water is quite remarkable and contributes to the image's overall ethereal quality. An untrained eye might miss the subtle differences in shades of green and yellow among the leaves, indicative of different tree species and varying levels of sun exposure. The water itself seems incredibly calm, perfectly still, creating a near-perfect reflection. The perspective, looking upwards from within the water, creates an unusual and intriguing viewpoint.

That is some story!

Color on the bank

 

River reflections

 

The young tree growing out of the river bank could not wait to show its colors before its elders.

Building across the river

 

We don't give out awards or points, but if we did, we would give them to whoever has a good / accurate description of how this image was made.

This topsy turvy river scene is presented as a relaxed view 3d stereograph.

 

Caution - do not step on cracks

 

A bridge to cross

 

Spending some time by the river at the end of the day is a great way to relax.

Before you ask, yes, I have been across and back - very carefully.

 

River wall

Glassy water

The brick wall and stone foundation of this mill building situated on the river are curved to follow the banks of the river.

 The building in the river

The factory building across the river is reflected in the waters of the river.

River reverie

Wriver wrevere-ee

The bridge across the river carried a railroad spur to the factory building.  On one side, the former factories have been re-purposed for offices, and and there is planned re-purposement on the other.  Still, the river flows and greenery grows.
