A Fading River

I found this river while visiting a college in Alabama. This river is starting to get more and more polluted as time goes on, but the blend of beautiful colors as the sunsets reflection dissipates, reveals its resilience against our own faults. Unfortunately, the inevitable darkness of the nights sky reveals a dark river and it’s slowly fading cleanliness.
