The camera in my pocket 2018

The confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers, Waterford, New York.

 

This ones a beautiful picture and look how rich blue the water is

 

After a century or so of misusing our rivers the state has made great progress in cleaning them up. GE was required to spend several millions of dollars to dredge PCBs that were dumped into the Hudson farther upstream and it is ongoing. Fish that have not been in the river for decades are returning in great numbers.

 

It's good to hear it's making a recovery Hydrogardener.

Now, they have a modern visitor's center at the river for visiting boaters to shop, rest and relax. They finally are beginning to understand what a blessing the rivers are to this area. The barge canal passes the visitor's center bringing boaters from all over the world.

 

That's the only trouble when rivers besides the oceans are misused it causes many problems besides affecting mammals and fish...but nice to hear through it being worked on the fish are returning

 

Now what a lot of difference through money being spent and a bit of transformation...actually it carries a lovely relaxed look with it also
