Streamlines

As the flow of water is interrupted by the bends in a creek or rocks in a channel, it is twisted and curled into beautiful scrolling spirals called streamlines. This artwork diagrams the hydraulic flow which would be present if this path were a stream. The small medallions inset into the path represent the variety of micro-organisms found in a healthy stream.
