Water cleanses, which is why a river in flood to me symbolises a new beginning; a clean slate, a fresh start, and getting rid of all the debris that clogs up life.
Depicted here is the Shingwedzi River and its tributaries in flash flood through the Kruger National Park, South Africa, following a cloudburst.
We’re participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com‘s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggers. This week’s challenge is “New Beginnings“.
Happy New Year!

Wow! Lots of rain must have fallen for it to be so green. I remember rivers in flood like this in Africa. Surely a very imposing sight and truly a new beginning. Great job.

Thank you friends!
For all our accomplishments as humans, any force of nature – floods, fires, storms, earthquakes, have your pick – quickly makes us realise how small we actually are… I can still remember standing on the bridge over the Shingwedzi in flood, taking pictures, how the massive structure was actually trembling beneath us – scary stuff!
