Mysterious Landscapes
The Crossing in Winter
There is no bridge across the stream that flows through the field between my studio and the orchard. So I generally cross at this spot, in knee boots if it is lower and chest waders if it is higher. This photo was taken on New Years day 2017 in the middle of the stream looking toward the place where Beaver puts his dam. Years ago a man made dam existed; it was breached a long time ago; only the slab of concrete to the left of the picture remains. I'll get onto the far side bank by hauling myself up a rope and put on my snowshoes...

To my Steemit explorer friends,
I have probably taken over a million photographs of the natural world since childhood; this is a daily series of some of those I most treasure.
Where They are From
Many are from an organic orchard that I created on the hill above my home. When you are raising trees from saplings you are out in all weather at all hours and see remarkable things.
Some are from my art studio and my efforts there- especially those on behalf of the Tibetan people.
Still others are from my wanderings in the wilderness with compass and map my companions. Many are featured from posts I have created here on Steemit and I will link to those whenever possible if you wish to read more of the how, when and where.
Please upvote if you liked this post, and follow for more journeys through our mysterious and amazing world. And please comment as I greatly value these and will answer any questions you may have (and generally go to look at your posts of course since I consider a group of friends the most valuable possible outcome from efforts on Steemit.)
*This photo was taken with the Canon EOS 70D 18-55mm lens.
Are there still some fishes swimming around that stream @throughmyeyes ?
Of course @cryptopie! :) Trout and white sucker and pumpkinseed and minnows.
Maybe some magical force allows them to live through that icy environment, you will wonder and think huh?
While humans just can't survive a few hours in cold.
Yes. The natural world is amazing. They have adapted over the eons.
Great place with history I am sure. I enjoy making friends with photographers who can use their camera to show me the world. I love to travel with a passion. I am now following you
Thanks @johnnyray! :) Yes...there was once a mill up the road atop a large natural falls. So the road is called Boice Mill Road...
I see,so how is the fishing there?
Now that looks refreshing! There's nothing finer than to be outdoors wandering. I am surrounded by gorgeous mountains and never tire of their magic. This post made me feel right at home. Love it :)
Ah. They might make a good photographic background for your writing...
once again a nice snap, good quality image, thanks a for positing this and have a great day.
Thanks @shivohum2015! :) (it's evening over here- I know you are beginning your day though :) If you can open the post on a laptop and click on the photo the larger version is particularly amazing! It will probably take awhile to download at a cyber though...
See the beautiful river, like the river. I found that atmosphere when I was a kid, but right now I've never found a river like
That's where I am now .... I miss the river like that
Thanks friends, make me go back past
Glad to go back there with you @syarrf :)
It's nice to be with you brother :D
It turns out you are a great photographer ... all the results of your photographs are very good.
Thank you very much @alhasan! :)
