I often wondered what it would be like to follow a stream of some river from the place where it springs to its estuary. How would the landscape change along the way,
whom would I meet when walking along the stream, and what would the fauna and flora be like. I wanted to get to know it really well – in all daytimes and different weather conditions. And I wondered whether I could even get to know it that well because the river always changes.
