    Well CherryPie, your stream looks crystal clear from here. :)
    But, on the wall above my PC is a calendar of canal scenes.
    The December picture is of the Bridgewater canal at Worsley basin.
    Because of mining in the area the canal water here is the muddiest in the whole of the British Isles. Red mud from the iron ore.
    The third picture down, on this blog below, shows it well.

    Cheers…Bernard (the deep mine of useless information) :)

      You are a mine of fascinating information :-) It reminds me of the sea when I was a Staithes, it was black around the shore line. That was obviously from some sort of mining/minerals in the area.

    Yes how true. And that would be a beautiful place to stand still.
