Beautiful River by olivetreeann

Beautiful River

This river has the reputation of being chilly and wide. The first may be true, but the second is not always true. It's name in English means "the one who goes down". Do you know where it is?

Taken in January 2005
What a beautiful image Ann. I have no idea where it is but it looks like a lovely place

Gorgeous colouring here - is it the time of day to get this golden look? Dark but the subjects are clear. Haven't a clue where!

It will be interesting to see the answer to this. At first I was think the Susquehanna since it runs from New York into the Chesapeake Bay, but not sure

Surprise, surprise this is a picture of the Jordan River in Israel where it meets up with the Sea of Galilee!

River Jordan is chilly and wide, alleluia
Milk and honey on the other side, alleluia...

That's not Michael, and he's not rowing, but these two fishermen are coming in with a catch of St. Peter's fish (a. k. a. tilapia). The Sea of Galilee has disappeared into the mist and we didn't stay long as we would be returning later in the day, but it was interesting to see that the same fishing practices of Bible times were still at work in modern times- fish at night when the fish come to the surface and come in early morning to scale them and get them ready for the market.

Wow! What a lovely shot, Ann! I see above that you said it's Israel. I'd never known it. What a very pretty setting though.

@prttblues Thanks Bev! And thanks so much for the fav! Most people do not know that northern part of Israel is mostly green- although in the early morning here it's a bit foggy.
