Cory Environmental tug Reclaim heads down the Thames with three bages full of containerised waste to be delivered to Belvedere’s jetty where it will be trucked the short distance to the Electricity from Waste incinerator. The company (now owned by Biffa) was founded in 1896 as William Cory and Son Ltd and, almost immediately, started to transport waste down the Thames as the comapny didn't wish for their boats to return empty having delivered their cargoes of coal to London. The former Southern Region station of Charing Cross can be seen in the background with its river crossing, the Hungerford Bridge, flanked by the two Golden Jubilee bridges opened in 2002. There's a few trains in the picture too!
This is a capture from a place called the Nile, Washington Stale with the Naches River.
Thanks for all the comments and fave's
The Po and Ni rivers meet and become the Poni. The Poni and Matta rivers join and become the Mattaponi River.
The East Dart shortly before it joins the West Dart at Dartmeet. The clear water bubbling and babbling over the rocks sounds as good as it looks.
Here's the point where the river begins it's descent into Benham Falls. You don't want to swim here...
Taken from inside the Tamarisk restaurant in Green River, Utah. One of my favorite places to eat off of I-80. Very good food, atmosphere, and scenary.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the attacks in London and Manchester.
Looking downstream on the Afon Glaslyn. Taken during a walk doing the Cwm Bychan circular loop (really enjoyed that route) on a fairly intermittent day weather wise.
The Chattahoochee River is a river flowing through or along the borders of the U.S. states of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. It is a tributary of the Apalachicola River, a relatively short river formed by the confluence of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers and emptying into Apalachicola Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. The Chattahoochee River is about 430 miles long. The Chattahoochee, Flint, and Apalachicola Rivers together make up the Apalachiacola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin (ACF River Basin). The Chattahoochee makes up the largest part of the ACF's drainage basin.
The name Chattahoochee is thought to come from a Muskogean word meaning "rocks-marked" (or "painted"), from chato ("rock) plus huchi ("marked"). This possibly refers to the many colorful granite outcroppings along the northeast-to-southwest segment of the river. Much of that segment of the river runs through the Brevard fault zone.
The vicinity of the Chattahoochee River has been inhabited since at least 1000 BCE. The Kolomoki mounds located in the Kolomoki Mounds Historic Park near present-day Blakey, GA in Early County in southwest Georgia, were built during that era.
The Chattahoochee River originates in northeastern Georgia from a spring on Coon Den Ridge, near Jacks Knob, in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains, a sub-range of the Appalachian Mountains. Its headwaters flow south from ridges that form the Tennessee Valley Divide. The Appalachian Trail crosses the river's uppermost headwaters. The Chattahoochee's source and upper course lies within Chattahoochee National Forest.
From its source in the Blue Ridge Mountains the Chattahoochee River flows southwesterly to Atlanta and through its suburbs. It eventually turns due south to form the southern half of the Georgia/Alabama state line. Flowing through a series of reservoirs, it flows by Columbus, Georgia, the third-largest city in Georgia, and Fort Benning of the U.S. Army. At Columbus, it crosses the Fall Line of the eastern United States. From Lake Oliver to Fort Benning, the Chattahoochee Riverwalk provides cycling, rollerblading, and walking along 15 miles of the river's banks. Farther south it merges with the Flint River and other tributaries at Lake Seminole, near Bainbridge to form the Florida Panhandle's Apalachicola River. Although it is the same river, this portion
Atlanta itself is built upon the crest of a large ridge, rather than on the river proper. This has contributed to keeping much of the natural scenic beauty of the section that runs through metropolitan Atlanta safe. Other sections of the river bank north of the metropolis are protected by the boundaries of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area which is spread across several disconnected areas.
The river traverses through much of Atlanta's wealthy northern suburbs, contributing to the hilly topography the city's northern suburbs are famous for. Wealthy suburban communities in northern metro Atlanta that abut the river include: Vinings, Buckhead, Sandy Springs, East Cobb, Roswell, Dunwoody, Peachtree Corners, Johns Creek, and Berkeley Lake.
Controversy has come to the river rather recently because of the enormous growth of metropolitan Atlanta, and the resulting great increase in water withdrawals from the river. Oysters in the Apalachicola Bay, Florida, depend on the brackish water mixture of river and ocean water, and the alternating freshwater and saltwater flows that the river and the tides provide. Interbasin water transfers also occur, where water is withdrawn from the Chattahoochee, but then discharged as treated sewage water into another river, such as the Oconee River, which flows to the Atlantic Seaboard. The Congress of the United States has been asked to intervene to put navigation of the lower Chattahoochee, south of Columbus, by river barge last on the priority lists, since many people consider this to be a waste of water during droughts, and an aggravation of the fight between Georgia, Florida, and Alabama over rights to the river water.
