The topic of this challenge is ponds and rivers. Show running or still water, but no sea or ocean. Waterfalls are allowed if there's some pool at the bottom that is part of the image.

The Challenge will run from now next Sunday night, 4 August 2019. Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Nice challenge aaacb, I had to dig around to find one for this week’s challenge where the water is actually the subject instead of a secondary part of the photo.

Around these parts, a pond is a body of water small enough to fit in your own yard, so I'm going to give you a lake and a river, all in one. Schwatka Lake, which is a hydroelectric reservoir on the Yukon River within the city limits of Whitehorse.
