The Airport River

The three images above are from the small river at the local airport. It's not even an international airport and you're boned if you're headed to anything futher than Shenzhen. The airport itself is the least interesting thing to post about, so I'll cover the river.

The first image is from the last summer. The river was covered with this thick green algae, which covered all the local waterways. The growth was very smooth and made the whole river look like a slice of golf green riddled with junk and empty bottles half buried in the grass.

The river then changed outlook drastically, and got covered with green plants with occasional little flowers on them. This was in autumn and made the river look like an intentional garden. You couldn't see any water then, either.

The last image is from my last flight here. The plants have died and turned to an awful brown, with bits of black brackish stinking water peeking from the edges.

You are welcome to make your own commentary on the state of the environment as far as these images are relevant. I'll try to take the next picture in the spring to show you the whole circle of life at the Taizhou Airport river - should I still be here.

OP Out.
