What's your favorite body of water?
 

I choose Lake Superior for the surfing

Cool. I remember once seeing 15 foot waves on Michigan.

I choose the above for senescent cloud formations and scintillating sunsets.

The Aegean is pretty.

Atlantic Ocean.

I wanna drown in it.

isn't picking the Atlantic or Pacific ocean a little too easy? It's like saying that you like half the planet Earth

It's cliche but I'd like to visit lake tahoe

Other than that the kara sea

I'd like to visit Baikal ON DRUGS.

lake erie because the battle of lake erie in the war of 1812 was BADASS

there is a little pond in the middle of the cornfields back in illinois
used to fish there as a kid
it's surrounded by tall grasses and some trees
frogs croaking in the reeds
surface of the water reflecting the summer sky, vibrating with the movements of insects
an old wooden boat turned over near the water's edge
haven't been there in 20 years
maximum nostalgia
it's prob my favorite

here it is

[sob]

Best post yet

Its poetic.

Most nostaglic hydrology to me is this:
This little stretch of riparian woods is where I did a lot of exploration, swimming and wading, hiking, talking, and growing up. It's the Green Brook (tributary to the Raritan river) and within that stretch are the borders of 3 towns. Unfortunately due to ya know, being a flood plain and the invasive species Fallopia japonica, now unrecognizable to me and no fun unless you have a machete

I used to love hanging out on the sandy-silty banks and on the sandbars with their eroded pebbles but can't do that anymore because knotweed

i almost drown in Lake Michigan once. But my stepmother was unsuccessful and i was able to make it back to shore.

But I do like half the pl.... FINE.

My favorite is a river in the wildlands of Santa Catarina (somewhere near massaranduba). I've been there a few times as a kid, and remember it being very beautiful. Can't find a picture of it online, since i'm not even quite sure exactly where it was.

The river itself had a bunch tiny falls every 10-20 meters and there were a bunch of rocks you could step on. Each 'pool' before a fall was slightly larger than the previous and the bottom-est one was pretty deep. At 12 years old I couldn't reach the bottom. Nowadays I think I could probably stand keeping my head above water.

Weird to look up that area and see ・Shroeder

the st. mary's river flows in my veins

if we put you up on that cross you will be saved and you won't die a miserable jew

true confessions, I drunkenly sharpied a hammer and sickle onto the cross once

Current/Jacks Fork Rivers, i.e. the Ozark National Scenic Riverways Park






Camped and floated there every summer as a kid

not cliche. it's beautiful.

you ARE a Bernie Bro!

that was back in my hardened commie days when I would have looked at Bernie as a feeble, doddering soft capitalist


the college didn't think it was as funny as I did tho

My body

Last time I went up there, I wrote this at FB.

I grew up a five minute walk from here, and I walked up here all my life, to think about things and to dream of the future. I feel a lot of strong emotions walking up here with my kids. This hill - I call it Tinakori but it is now named Te Ahumairangi: the path to the sky - is my hill. My parents brought me to live at the top of it when I was a year old, and they still live in my childhood home. The placentas I grew in my body, that sustained and nourished my sons while they grew inside me, are buried in their garden, on this hill. We dug holes and there in the dirt, we tipped the bloody mess that my body gave up after I birthed my babies, and we put trees in to feed from that blood. I came up here as a teenager, secretly, to smoke illegally-bought cigarettes while I looked out over the city. I cycled up this hill on my 15-speed Avanti Town'n'Country dozens of times, coming home from high school. It was my home, and I am grateful. For the biting cold wind, and for the rare, still days when I could see line after line of hills and sea, and the world appeared to be magnificent and limitless. #home

So the body of water is Wellington Harbour, though
