#452 Meeting of the Waters

At Manaus, the waters meet. It's visible from space.


The dark tannin-stained Rio Negro flows into the milk chocolate silt-laden Solimões/Amazon.  The waters meet, but don't mix.

Extreme differences in water temperature and acidity keep the two waters distinct for many miles downstream from their junction.

Yours in enjoying this meeting,
Kelly
