    Sooner or later they’re going to become meander scars or oxbow lakes, when the river reconnects with itself.

      My first thought when seeing this was future home of an ox bow lake

        And not far future! Both bends are within a couple of trees in missing each other.

        For those not on the water much, see the beach on the left of the top bow? The opposite side is where the water is deeper and faster. It’ll chew through that bank and meet the other side soon enough.

        The only thing I know about vesicles is that microvesicles are gross… thanks to paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler.
