Convincing after having fought a sudden attack of nausea :)
It is a pretty dizzying perspective!
When I was a wee young thing (in the middle of last century!) I studied Geography and one of the bestest units was River Deltas. The Nile, Ganges and Mississippi come to mind.
Terrific marrying of image and quote.
I love looking up trees ... the quote adds a whole new perspective.
Julie, rivers are like veins of the land in my imagination and the forking of the trees' twigs and branches always remind me of them.
My apologies to all who got dizzy, *bg*.
Interestingly disorienting
