We took this picture on a very hot, humid day in July of 2016 at Starved Rock State Park in LaSalle County, Illinois. It is a black and white rendition of the form and texture of a rivulet of water in one of the many stream and riverbeds in the park.
It hadn’t been particularly rainy during this part of the summer and the heat had aided in evaporation, so that what were once ample water supplies coursing through the streams and rivers, due to the late winter melt-off or the abundant spring rains, were now absent.
We had considered putting this picture in our Etsy Shop for many months and we finally relented. I love, particularly, the pattern of the “waves,” for lack of a better term, and the rhythmic function, certainly with a mathematical, waveform feel to it.
