In this picture, I see a piece of art work in the riparian buffer. What really struck me was all of the sediment around the art and the plant growth in the surrounding area as well as the lack of water in the immediate area. The picture made me think about the maintenance that is require for both art installations as the sculpture appears to be very rusted. It also made me think about how the lack of water in certain areas of a stream can affect the health of the riparian buffer. When I look at this picture I feel the need to understand how this area has changed over the years and what it looked like when the art was first installed. I feel like we need to make an effort to restore it. I think this picture is about how a watershed changes overtime whether it be naturally or through human actions.
