"This breathtaking image might look like a massive tree sprouting from the Earth — but it’s actually a river delta, where nature paints with water instead of ink. What you’re seeing is called a dendritic pattern — a word that comes from the Greek dendron, meaning “tree.” It’s a common natural formation in river systems, mirroring the way tree branches or even our own veins spread out. It’s the geometry of life, repeated in the sky, soil, and body."
