Queensland's river systems contains some images of the areas between "water" and "land", which I find interesting because I have long read that what we call "life" had a greater chance of diversity (that is, new species) in these regions than anywhere else on the planet.
I say this in the sense that once a new species had formed, the oceans and the dry land provide a safe habitat for its continuing evolution, but that the business of surviving in a now-you-see-it, now-you-don't environment tends to filter out a prospective species that has poor survival skills.
I am writing very generally here and hope that Richard Dawkins does not frequent Eileen's Lounge.
Anyway, these images of transitional environments fascinate me.
Note: I suspect that the plum-coloured image titled "Mangroves and saltmarsh on the Calliope River" is mis-titled.
Cheers

Re: Transitional environments
So too shall I, after a liminal period.
