Month of May Photo Challenge. Day 5: Water


Water vortex displays at The Shops at Crystals Aria in Las Vegas.

I once read about a debate on which was the stronger element: fire or water. They both can wreak havoc in terms of fires and floods, but in the end, water came out as the winner because fire cannot put out water, but water can put out fire.

I have always admired water's versatility; it can change its form from liquid to solid ice to vaporous steam. In oceans and rapid-flowing rivers, it has the patience and power to erode away tall and rocky cliffs, smoothing boulders through time as it ekes between the crevices of hard things. I have always thought about the lessons that water teaches us: that even when blocked or dammed off, water finds another way around.
