" ... take hold of a breath-width instant, stare
at water which is already elsewhere
in a scrapwork of flashes and glittery flutters
and regular waves of apparently motionless motion
under the teetering structures of administration

where a million shut-away eyes glance once
restlessly at the river’s ruts and glints

count five, then wander swiftly
away over the stone wing-bone of the city."

extract from 'Another Westminster Bridge', by Alice Oswald

The removal of the four dams on the Klamath represents the first real attempt at the kind of river #restoration that #Indigenous nations and environmentalists have long demanded.

It is the result of an improbable campaign that spanned close to half a century, roped in thousands of people, and came within an inch of collapse several times.

Interviews reveal a collaborative achievement with few clear parallels in contemporary activism.

How the Klamath Dams Came Down

Last year, tribes in Oregon and California pulled off the largest dam removal in U.S. history. This is their story.

Third and final part of an abstract art project shot on three of the rivers of Scotland - the Ness, the Clyde and the Tay - using long exposures, intentional camera movement and lights reflected in the waters.

Here the patch of neon green light holds the centre of the scene while the more subtle blue light is in the left portion of the image.

more from a sunset over Saint Johns River, Jacksonville, Florida

#Jacksonville #Florida #AmateurPhotography #Pixelfed #StreetPhotography #Rivers #Sunset #Reflections #UrbanExploration #GalaxyS23+
Enormous dark clouds rise from the horizon in the distance in a tornado shaped funnel just above the red hot sun, about to cross below the horizon over a vast, dark river. Each side of the dark funnel cloud formation is brightly illuminated in golden shades from the sun's intensity, which reflects onto the water's surface below. The red hit sun also casts a red, laser like beam of light across the water's surface as well. To the right, a large wooden pier with a covered observation deck reaches far out into the river waters, where tiny silhouettes of people settled in to watch the sunset appear within the golden glow cast upon the pier's wooden surfaces.

Campaigners present ‘#VisionOfHope’ for #Scotland to become #rewilding nation - #ScottishRewildingAlliance said the country can ‘lead the movement for global change’.

"We also need to support #nature to help address the #ClimateCrisis and to create a climate resilient Scotland. We know we must protect and restore the natural environment for future generations."

Nick Forbes
Wednesday 04 December 2024

"A campaign group calling for Scotland to be declared the world’s first '#RewildingNation' has presented the Scottish Government with proposals for rewilding 30% of the country’s land and seas.

"The Scottish Rewilding Alliance, a coalition of more than 20 conservation and nature-focused organisations, presented what it called its 'vision of hope' to Scotland’s climate action minister, Alasdair Allan, during a reception in Edinburgh.

"The alliance said rewilding 30% of Scotland can be achieved if ministers 'show leadership' and commit to 'meaningful action' to restore habitats including #peatlands, native #woodlands, #wetlands, #rivers and #seas.

"It said this can be achieved while maintaining and benefiting productive #farmland.

"Doing so, they said, would help tackle the connected nature and climate emergencies, and create benefits for people and local communities around health, jobs, sustainable food production, re-peopling, clean air and water, and healthy rivers and seas."
