My Water Post For Today.
All the water in this area of Bayou Country is muddy, sorry about that.
This water is by the Atchafalaya River, a huge river in the area and it has many tributaries, including this one, called the Yellow Bayou. It is located in Calmet, which is just to the west of Morgan City, Louisiana.
The 4 pipes are what made me take this photo. They send these pipelines (they could contain either oil or gas) way up in the air to make sure they don't get washed out to sea. This land is part of the flood control of the Mississippi River and thus, gets flooded out once in a while. The last time was in 2011, via the Morganza Spillway (opened to divert Mississippi River water, from the cities of Baton Rouge and New Orleans). My best guess is that keeping the pipes in the air, somehow saves them from damage in major events.
It's a totally different world than what I am used to, that's for sure.
I hope you enjoy.
Actually for the Bayou, I think the water is perfect. I love it!
