Waterfalls of Oregon, South Santiam River

admin — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 05:44:17 +0000

While not as well known as other river systems in Western Oregon, the 60-mile-long South Santiam River system contains at least a dozen accessible waterfalls. From its source at Iron Mountain and Tombstone Pass to its terminus near Albany, the river cuts a deep canyon, leaving side streams hanging, forming beautiful waterfalls, such as the highest, Cascadia State Park’s Lower Soda Falls at 160′. This 28-minute meditative video tour, with only the sounds of the water and instrumental music, is designed to be enjoyed over and over again, feeding the soul as well as your eyes and ears, taking you to places that you might not otherwise visit, sometimes to places right in your own part of Oregon.

For more information, go to www.oregonimages.com. To order, send check for $16.95, payable to Kevin Shilts, to P.O. Box 667, Sweet Home, OR 97386.

The River Gypsies of Bangladesh

admin — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 04:17:38 +0000

They have been living as nomades on the River system in Bangladesh for hundreds if not thousinds of year and now they are not allowed to maintain their culture, because it will be easier for the Government to give their children education if they are domesticated. At the same time the Indian Government are making a huge dam, which will deprive some of the main river systems in Bangladesh for water, depriving the Fishermen, the Farmers and the River Gypsies of their livelyhood….. The children will get their education, move away from the farms and their Gypsie life and move to the big cities, where they will be contributing to the consumerism and the over population of the cities….way to go!
