An Unusual Sight
While it is usual to see sail and motor boats on the river by Southport, North Carolina, it was very unusual to spot a tug boat hauling a home on the water!
Transport Ship
The ferry crossing between Southport and Fort Fisher also offers sighting of large transport ships on the river.
Boats near Old Dee Bridge
River Dee is 70 miles long and stretches through Wales and Chester. On the bank of the river is the ‘Groves’, a paved promenade complete with bandstand, cafés, restaurants and public houses. Chester’s River Dee has phenomenal wildlife and all sorts of activities from river cruises, kayaking, canoeing, nature spotting tours, stand up paddleboarding, white water rafting and boats for hire.
Pools of Water
Walking on the banks along the Lower Asygarth Falls one can see water captured in shallow rocky formations when the level in the river has fallen. There are also beautiful designs in the foam and stagnant water on the sides of River Ure.
Stalactite Art
The cathedral sized main chamber at Poole’s Cavern, England is carved from limestone by an ancient river. Walking through the cavern reveals nature’s artwork formed by stalactites of various sizes and shapes.
Lendal Bridge and Tower
Lendal Bridge was the second of the three modern road bridges built over the River Ouse at York (the first being Ouse Bridge which has existed since as early as the ninth century). The bridge replaced an earlier ferry service, which had operated from Barker Tower, on the south-west bank, to Lendal Tower.
Lendal Tower has stood next to the River Ouse since about the 1300. It was originally part of the City’s defenses. In medieval times a great iron chain which was stored in the tower was pulled across the river to Barker Tower on the opposite bank.
Cruising on River Ouse in York
While cruising on river Ouse in York, spot many famous city landmarks, including the breath-taking gothic beauty of York Minster, Clifford’s Tower, one of the only fortifications left of the castle that oversaw York after 1066, the many bridges that cross the Ouse, the serene Museum Gardens, the medieval Guildhall and much! Biking along the river path is optional.
Black-headed Ibis on a Rocky River
Low water levels in the river in Bera expose the rocky landscape, but still provide pockets of water for a black-headed Ibis – a large wader with a white body and bare black head and neck. Males and females look similar and both have grayish tail feathers.
Lake Jawai Panorama
Jawai Bandh was constructed in Rajasthan across the Jawai River, a tributary of the Luni River. Jawai got importance in 1946, when Umaid Singh started building a dam there. Prior to that, it was just an area with some granite hills and a river, uninteresting to tourists or the government. Now, it is a beautiful landscape.
Costa Rica – Clouds and Rivers
Traveling through Costa Rica reveals its beautiful landscapes with mountains, clouds, rivers, trees and vegetation.
Tadoba – Water Bodies
Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) is one of the most sought after tiger-sighting and watching destinations in India. Tadoba is a wonderful habitat and the state flagship tiger reserve. Its most important asset is its ever present water resource in a geographical area that is a byword for water scarcity. It has a wealth of water bodies and lakes, both big and small, and the whole area is drained by the Irai and Andhari rivers, with the Tadoba draining into the Irai reservoir.
Snake River at Grand Teton
The Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming is a special stretch of gorgeous river. Most rivers that cut through scenery like Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming move so fast, it leaves you wanting more.
Glimpse of Snake River at Teton Range
The headwaters for the Snake River are in the Teton Wilderness just outside of Yellowstone National Park. After flowing into Yellowstone briefly, the river cuts through Grand Teton National Park, across Idaho and flows into the Columbia River in Washington.
Yellowstone Rivers
While yesterday’s post showed images of steam rising from water streams, there are still full flowing normal rivers in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
