Highland Water

A brief respite from the storms of days past, although the weather wizards predict more to come.  Though for today at least the Sun occasionally breaks free of its cloudy prison to shine on the forest. Highland water has receded, retreated back within the bounds of its banks, but where it's flowed is easy to see by the deposited silt which covers the woodland fringes of the stream.  The river is being reshaped, you can notice where gravel banks have been eroded and redeposited further down stream, where the water has begun to cut across meander looking for a new route and where trees on the bank have lost their hold and fallen into the flow, forcing the water to change course eating its way through the forest.
