The place is called Dödafallen - The dead falls, it is a place the water of Dalälven (our river) used to run 7000 years ago. Then it changed it course and left this special place in the nature. The area arround the Dalälven have a beautiful nature with many special nature features.
The predecessor of today's Dalälven was a powerful glacial river, which was formed in the final phase of the last ice age that affected large parts of northern Europe. In addition, 8,200 years ago the earth's crust, pressed down by the ice sheet, had risen so that the higher parts of the Avesta tract came to lie above the surface of the sea (now the Baltic Sea).
Around 7,000 years ago, the waterfalls collapsed, probably in connection with a large spring flood when the river's water masses sought a new, somewhat straighter path, north of the current Getklacken. The geologists believe that the event lasted perhaps less than an hour. Because the Dead Falls had been drained, the river below them also had a new, straighter course. During extremely high spring floods, water still flows in the channel that the river had over 8,000 years ago. The area is accessible to the public via footpaths, wooden bridges and stairs.
How small we feel in the grandeur of nature! Captivated by the stunning sunrise and surrounded by the tranquil waters of the river, we find ourselves lost in the beauty of this moment 🌅🚣♀️ #naturelover #serenity #perspective #sunrise #riverlife #boatride #naturephotography #reflection #grateful #blessed #peaceful #adventuretime #outdoorfun #coupletravel #travelgram #exploretheworld #wanderlust #mindfulness #meditation #blissful #tranquility #serene https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp15VYluGy2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Another long week has passed by. I assisted a law enforcement agency at work with the resuscitation of an individual that had lost their pulse twice and administered Narcan to bring them back. Considering doing a post on it not only due to the opioid epidemic but for those that have loved ones on prescribed opioid medications where you may be the difference. Let me know what you think. Have a great weekend and take care! #river #riverlife #creek #stream #forest #mountains #wilderness #hiking #hike #wildernessnation #outdoors #camping #bushcraft #survival #survivalist #backpacking #explore #trekking #bushcraftandprepping #narcan #opiodcrisis https://www.instagram.com/p/CiTVYNJvp3G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I got stung by some Yellow Jacket wasps...overkill or no? I'm not allergic, it just freaking hurts! Feels like people putting lit cigarettes on your skin. #beesuit #nosting #riverlife #yellowjacketsareassholes #noredeemingqualities (at Pelzer, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgF8PG6ufvG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
