Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. - Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else. - Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation. - Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun. 
NOTE
This week's theme was suggested by billz . (Thanks, Bill!) |

That's funny. One of us must be psychic Sepiana and I don't think it is me.  I took this photo today as I was thinking of posting it in the "Favorite" challenge because I like to fly fish....certainly one of my favorite pastimes. Took this today (September 1) on the Crowsnest River in SW Alberta.  |

I captured this shot just as the light was fading this evening. The River Wandle is the only river that flows through our London Borough to join the Thames at Wandsworth. You would hardly believe that this is essentially an urban river. i.ibb.co/Km8SSCn/226-River.jpgDennis |

Thanks for the theme Sepiana. This is the Willamette (rhymes with damnit) River as it flows north through Portland on its way to a confluence with the Columbia River, and eventually the Pacific Ocean.  |

The River Tees is 84 miles long The pictures were taken about two miles from the river mouth - where it joins the North Sea. I was on a bridge at the Tees Barrage - hence the foam. No. 1 . . Looking East.  No. 2 . . . . Looking West.  |

Living on the river, it seems there's always a picture that could be taken....   |

i.ibb.co/nMFpPYH/IMG-2000.jpgi.ibb.co/pJqj09p/IMG-2015.jpgTwo images of the north arm of the Fraser river. A working river, as you can see, with a tugboat returning home, and what looks like a barge full of wood chips, in the pano, which is looking out towards Georgia Strait, also known as the Salish Sea.

My local river is the St Clair River. Only 40 miles long connecting Lake Huron with Lake St Clair but a very busy waterway with the Canada/US border running down the middle. Here's a good fishing spot at the mouth of the river with the twin Bluewater bridges behind - the sheets covering part of the US side are where they are currently re-painting - one of those jobs that when finished the whole bridge it's time to start again!  And further down the river the Hon. James L. Oberstar was passing by carrying 30,000 tons of iron ore to Detroit  Tony |

The very modest little Coppermill Stream barely merits being called a river, but it helps fill the huge reservoirs which now make up the Walthamstow Wetlands, one of London's newest nature reserves. i.ibb.co/qkfPLCF/River-CM.jpgBrenda |

Is that one of the reservoirs in the background, Brenda?

This is a nicely composed, colorful, and sharp image. I really like the inclusion of the human element. |

You would hardly believe that this is essentially an urban river. Dennis Dennis, perfect timing! Great image -- light/shadows, water reflections, and the natural framing effect created by the foliage/branches. |

Great composition and DOF. It invites the viewer to "flow" along with the river. |

Is that one of the reservoirs in the background, Brenda? Yes, the somewhat rudimentary map I printed from the website calls it Reservoir 1 (there are five in all, plus the East and West Warwick Reservoirs on the south part of the Wetlands) Brenda |
