River

A river with mystic and romantic stories that is Nile.  “Death in the Nile” was published on Nov 1937 and “Daughter of the Nile” was published on July 1976 are famous books.  I read “Daughter of the Nile” when I was kid and like this book.  It provides many thoughts and I imagined it has love, beauty and life that happened among this river, and the romantic love story of the daughter of Nile.  

Nile

The Nile River is the longest river of the world.  It is risen from Burundi cross Egypt then goes to South Sudan with an approximate length of 4,160 miles.  The second longest river is Amazon located in South America, its source in Peru flows through Brazil into the Atlantic Ocean and its approximate length is 4,049 miles.  Amazon River is the world greatest river, it carry largest volume of water discharged into the sea.  The generally accepted method among scientists is to measure the length of the longest continuous river channel in a given river systems.  Water is a life source to human.  It has the longest history and oldest story.  However long of the river, it feeds everything; it gives life in the earth.  The river has many mouths which join together flowing into the sea and it also creates waterfalls.  The river flows like a dance and it’s collision like a song. 

France is a beautiful country with art and sense of romanticism.  The Eiffel Tower and The Louvre are part of its cultural heritage.  The Mona Lisa has her room in Louvre.  The longest river in France is Loire River (630 miles) and the last wild river in all of Europe flowing westward from the south of Cevennes into Orleans and the city of tours, and spilling into the Atlantic Ocean at Nantes.  On the 2nd December 2000, the Loire River was recognized as a World Heritage site.  The UNESCO committee said that the Loire is “an exceptional cultural landscape, of great beauty, comprised of historic cities and villages, great architectural monuments – the Châteaux – and lands that have been cultivated and shaped by centuries of interaction between local populations and their physical environment, in particular the Loire itself.”

I like rivers because it is powerful.  The beauty of it’s unlimited energy create life.  It is life source to the earth.

Water Drop

There are some days raining from winter to spring in Hong Kong.  I hate bad rain.  There is black cloud on the sky, it is bad weather cloudy and wet when it is rainy day. The sun cause the water to evaporate, the evaporated water floats up  into the atmosphere, the water vapor cools down and condense to form clouds.  When clouds condense enough, the water vapor will turn back into a liquid and fall to the earth as rain.  This is called the water cycle.  The rain drops falling down on the farm, tree, flower, grass, river and ground.  Water drop feeds land and animals, water the plant, the plant grows up after rain.  Afterward sunray gives light and warm to the earth take care of the land.  The water drops before dry on the leaves, it is small and transparent, which looks like a little crystal.  I like to catch this beautiful moment.
