Looks good to me.

A stream in Alaska, not as exciting or filled with danger as the guides would have you think, but I would not like to be tipped into it. (Scan)

This is your idea of a stream? What do you think of as a river? Lake Superior? )

Wonderful photograph and thanks for uploading.

It's my geology background. Many words for water that runs along an established channel: river, stream, brook, run, rivulet, bourn, creek, rill, beck, etc. etc. The USGS long ago decided that any and all examples of water flowing along a definite course should be called a "STREAM," from the tiniest flow through the woods to the Mississippi, Nile, Amazon, etc. Geologically, they are all "streams'" but they have very different discharges. BTW: flowing water that is not following a defined channel is called "overland flow," although if it is very shallow and wide, it may be called "sheet wash."

It is funny how these terms have locally tinged meanings. On one of the last summer vacations I took with my parents, we ranged south as we returned eastward from Albuquerque, NM, and visited Lake Carlsbad, on the Pecos River in southern New Mexico. We looked out from the shoreline at what back home in Illinois would have been categorized, at most, as a biggish farm pond. As for the Pecos River, we knew lots of Illinois creeks that were wider and deeper.

Many years ago (Aug 2000) descending after the ascent of the Rheinwaldhorn....top of the falls. I saw many of these falls from down below in the valleys from a train car and always wondered what the top of them looked like; this was it!

Thanks! It seemed like a good match once I got the shutter speed to my liking.

Does this count as moving water?



(There's also a small waterfall at the bottom of the page that's not shown very well...)
