Pic(k) of the Week: A confluence of creeks

A confluence of creeks: where the six-mile Burnt Fork Creek (left) joins the fifteen-mile South Fork Peachtree Creek (right and foreground).

Peachtree Creek is a major stream in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. It flows for 7.5 miles (12.1 km) almost due west into the Chattahoochee River. Its two major tributaries are the North Fork Peachtree Creek and the South Fork Peachtree Creek. The southern fork is 15.4 miles (24.8 km) long. The southern edge of its basin borders the Eastern Continental Divide.

***************
Seen from a rock ford in the South Fork Peachtree Creek, along the Three Creeks Trail: one in a "labyrinth of soft-surfaced trails" in and around a 120-acre suburban-Atlanta Piedmont forest.

The trail connects Ira B. Melton Park (south, to the right) to the larger Mason Mill Park (north, to the left). The third creek of the trail's name is Glenn Creek, a 2-mile creek that empties into the South Fork Peachtree Creek about 1/5 mile downstream of this image.
