But what is actually a river?

A river is a natural watercourse,[1] usually freshwater, flowing toward an ocean, a lake, a sea or another river. In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely before reaching another body of water. Small rivers may also be called by several other names, including stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill; there is no general rule that defines what can be called a river. An exception to this is the stream. In some countries or communities a stream may be defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; one example is Burn in Scotland and North-east England. Sometimes a river is said to be larger than a creek,[2] but this is not always the case, because of vagueness in the language.[3]

A river is part of the hydrological cycle. Water within a river is generally collected from precipitation through surface runoff, groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (i.e., from glaciers).

Grand Army Plaza Station - Wings for the IRT: The Irresistible Romance of Travel


Image by wallyg
Jane Greengold's Wings for the IRT: The Irresistable Romance of Travel was installed in Grand Army Plaza Station in 1995. The bronze and terra cotta bas relef on the mezzanine wall is modeled on the original Interborough Rapid Transit Company logo, Flying Wheels--a subway car with wings--and references the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch in the plaza above with its Winged Victories.

Grand Army Plaza Station, opened on August 23, 1920, is a local station on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line, located underneath Flatbush Avenue at its northwest intersection with Grand Army Plaza. The station is close to Prospect Park, and is thus identified as Grand Army Plaza–Prospect Park in 2 and 3 service timetables.
