#PhotoOfTheDay: #Meanders of the #Irrawaddy River

River channels old and new wind across a floodplain in Burma (Myanmar), mingling with areas of agriculture and aquaculture.

Sediment in the water gives the river an opaque, light brown appearance.

@allochthonous

Sinuosity is a natural phenomenon of flowing water based purely on physical principles. Once any bend occurs, slower moving water leaves deposits on the inside curve while faster moving water erodes the outer curve.

“[T]housands of years of course changes compressed into a single image by a clever mapmaker with an artistic eye. Looking at them, you're invited to imagine the Mississippi as it was during the European exploration of the Americas in the 1500s, during the Cahokia civilization in the 1200s (when this city's population matched London's), when the first humans came upon the river more than 12,000 years ago, and even back to before humans, when mammoths, camels, dire wolves, and giant beavers roamed the land and gazed upon the river…”
