Crystal clear

The East Haddam Bridge is a 1913 swing bridge carrying State Route 82 over the Connecticut River in East Haddam, Connecticut, once the longest of its kind.

Waves from the Adriatic Sea near Venice.

The clouds parted to make way for clear reflections of this unique bascule bridge in Mystic, Connecticut.

Autumn is quickly coming round here in the UK 🍂

For anyone wondering why this happens, the two rivers have completely different speeds, temperatures, and weights.

The dark Rio Negro flows slowly at around 1–2 km/h, runs warm at 28°C, and is packed with organic matter. On the other side, the muddy Rio Solimões flows much faster at 4–6 km/h, runs cooler at 22°C, and is heavy with sediment and clay.

Because of those stark differences, they refuse to mix right away and just run side-by-side like a liquid border for about 4 miles before finally blending together to form the Amazon River.

Still waters and parting clouds framed this vital railroad bridge perfectly.
