July 2023 water challenge

Thanks MFI. More than anything else that photo and the one below was simply an example of being in the right place at the right time.

IMO, things run in repeating cycles, from one extreme to another. That's true in politics (conservative to liberal, back to conservative, again and again), fashion (skinny ties and thin jacket lapels yield to wide ties and lapels and then thin again), and many other areas. This has been true in earth's climate history, but I fear that man-made climate change is dangerously close to the point of no return, if not already past it. I am not optimistic.

Here's the other photo I managed to retrieve, taken the same wonderful day at the wetlands...

   

I'm aware that placing the horizon right in the middle is considered an amateurish and unforgivable sin, but in this case  I think the image still works.
