Branching Dendrites

This award-winning aerial image by photographer Stuart Chape shows a tidal creek in Lake Cakora, New South Wales, Australia. At first glance, it looks much like any river delta, with branching dendritic paths that split into smaller and smaller waterways. That’s deceptive, though, because very different forces shape this creek. Because tides move in and out, a tidal creek is home to flows that move both directions — toward and away from the branches. That also means that flow speeds can change rapidly as the tides shift, which in turn changes which sediments get lifted, dropped, and moved around the creek bed. (Image credit: S.

The Bay of Fundy is my favorite place to explore and walk along secluded beaches. The tones, textures and rock formations keep me coming back time after time. You can sometimes walk for hours without ever seeing another human being, just you, the beach, the shoreline and the tides. You must be mindful of the tides so you don't get trapped by an incoming tide.
The Bay of Fundy is renowned for having the highest tides in the world, with a tidal range reaching up to 16 meters (52.5 feet).

“Before time was money, it was a rhythm, not a rule.
A pulse of breath.
A shadow crossing stone.
A tide that rises only when the Moon says it's time.
We were never meant to monetize every minute.
We were meant to live them— to feel them in the body, to honor their rhythm, to rest
when the light wanes or pauses.
Time bends for the ones who remember how to rest” ~ Heather Marie Morse

Humans, Homo sapiens, humanity, we need no borders. Naturally. We evolved to walk wherever we liked. Together. In time.

The last few days, we've got to realize, we need #noborders

#science no borders #climateaction no borders #medicalaid no borders #migration no borders #labour no borders #care no borders #moon no borders #tides no borders #earth no borders #ocean no borders #life no borders #water no borders #health no borders #ritual no borders #morethanhuman no borders #nokings no borders #nomads no borders

Or maybe the way to say it is, no borders in space but in time (remembering the King of Time #VelimirKhlebnikov)

This comes from a lovely piece on Khlebnikov by our own Chris Knight:-
'Khlebnikov’s fundamental political position was that the world should have no borders. That was partly due to his upbringing: the camels and horses in the camp where he grew up were not interested in borders. Throughout his life, he remained committed to the nomadic values of the Kalmyk people.

'But, although Khlebnikov hated territorial borders, he loved the idea of borders in time. He did not want fences, customs posts and certainly not trenches (remember this is going on during World War I, when people were fighting for a few yards of squelching, blood-stained mud). But what about borders in time? When people sing together, they must all keep to the same beat and sing each note together. Synchronising the voice means being aware of borders in time. Once the whole planet is singing, the only borders will be in the dimension of time. Natural rhythms, such as human heartbeats, the sun, the moon and the tides, would be used to set up these borders. He considered it vital not to transgress borders in time - they were needed if the world’s inhabitants were to get on with one another. By contrast, borders in space were in his eyes just bloodshed and murder.'

Even though ‘glacial’ is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has found that #glaciers speed up and slow down on a daily – even hourly – basis in response to changes in air temperature, #rainfall and the #tides

Because if anyone knows this, it will be someone on the Fedi:

Is there a dynamic map showing - visually - the global movement of the tides? I know the tide sweeps North to South along the North Sea coast of Scotland, and I know it pushes into major rivers and bays in really interesting ways, but I'd like to _see_ it. Globally.

There is a story attached. What you see is normally beach.

A combination of overnight sculpting of the sand, strong wind and high tide brought about an unexpected and rapid inundation.

I spent the afternoon on a sand dune, cut off by swirling flood waters.

High tide came and went at just the right time. Scary. Has given me a new respect for tide tables.

Via the #BBC @ 1:26am EDT on Sept 20, 2024

Coastal engineers are predicting very low #tides in the #UK later may be the lowest anyone will see again.
A low spring tide caused by the position of the #Moon and #Sun will create the "exceptionally" low tide, said #Exeter-based #MoffattAndNichol.
It said with sea levels rising, such a low tide may never be seen again.
It follows a 2022 report showing #SeaLevels are rising much faster than a century ago.
