POBphotocontest New Round: WATER

in voilk •  3 months ago

    WATER is an element that covers 70% of the Earth's surface

    Even the early settlers knew the importance of freshwater and built one of their first settlements in this area next to this mountain stream.

    Even in the dead of winter this stream still flows beneath the frozen surface.

    As it meanders through the landscape this water will make its way to the Susquehanna River.
