China's Three Gorges Dam has been in the news lately. It seems that soil erosion upriver on the banks of the Yangtze has been greater than the engineers had predicted, and that perhaps an additional one million people will have to be relocated.
In 2004, my wife and I took an idyllic three-day cruise from Chong Ching down-river to just past the dam. It was delightful.
My favorite photo Three Gorges Dam photo is this one: it is a huge reservoir right next to the dam and it shows some of the debris that has been captured by the dam. Modern Art indeed!
Patterns in nature (even nature altered by man as at a rising reservoir) almost always present great creative thinking potential. What "disparate" elements are mixed in the pattern; where did they originate; what state are they in; where are they going; what adjacencies and interrelationships are evident, etc.? The alleged "chaos" in nature actually has great order in process and construct, when one gains comprehension of it. Question: Is wilderness more structured and predictable than a city? I believe so! Think about it!

Randy: "Patterns in nature (even nature altered by man as at a rising reservoir) almost always present great creative thinking potential." I heartily agree. Odd patterns are great stimulants to the imagination!

Nowadays people can turn almost everything in art. that's why I do not like some brainchild.
