Piper Krase- Watershed Reflection

  1. Start basic: In this picture, I see a cliff that has been created by erosion, and a tree that has fallen in the aftermath of the erosion.
  2. What I notice in this picture: After seeing it in real life, I found it really powerful how such a substantial amount of erosion can occur due to such a small amount of water. I was expecting a small amount of erosion that would normally be at the side of a river or small creek.
  3. What this picture makes me think about: What do you think someone would interpret this at first? At first sight, it sort of looks like a little sink hole had just occurred, and most people might be frightened by the aftermath but fail to acknowledge how humans have a substantial impact on why it happens in the first place.
  4. When I look at this picture, I feel: Disappointed, knowing that the erosion is not only effecting the shape of the land, but has major impacts on the nature and wildlife (trees, plants, animals, etc.) around it.
  5. I think this picture is about: I think this picture is about a large chunk of land that has fallen in on itself due to erosion.
