Brown pelicans, long-necked egrets, flamingo-like roseate spoonbills and squawking seagulls fly lazily around a Texas Gulf Coast island. Nearby, a toddler-aged wetland seeded with marsh grass completes the ecosystem, its thousands of inhabitants unaware their home is a manmade creation dredged from the Houston Ship Channel.

how did we get to that from here? The flickriver thingy?

Oh how, well I just took images in the appropriate filters and stacked them. I'm pretty decent at this sort of thing don't you know :p
