River of Steam

On my way down to the gym I spotted some steam rising out of the ground. The path that it took was almost like the river, it winded into the air, heavily affected by the wind. I’d highly suggest checking it out at night, it’s very pretty. Does anyone know why this forms?

Bike lock structure looks like a meandering river

As I was walking to class today I was looking at the bike lock structure and I noticed that then I looked at it from an angle it looked like a meandering river.  A meandering river is when the current of the river erodes the bands of the side of a river giving it bends.  Once this anomaly occurs it may lead to a river looking like the bike lock structure.  Sometimes when a river forms this meandering look Oxbow lakes form. A Oxbow lake is formed when a s shaped river will straighten out forming bowed looking lakes where the river one was before it straighten out.
