		Eventually the stream will cut into the course of a neighbouring river, causing the headwaters of that river to be diverted, or ‘captured’.
		An excellent example is the capture of the River Burn by the River Lyd, Devon, England.

		There are a few brick and flint and thatched cottages to one side of the manor's drive, and along the lane that leads into the valley an oddly ill at ease four-square pink-painted Regency house that looks as if it has strayed into the valley from Leamington Spa.

	The Village Voice: Film: Things Fall Apart by Ed Halter
		In the sensitive and stimulating documentary Rivers and Tides, he handcrafts numerous sculptures and installations from leaves, stones, dirt, snow, and ice, elegantly composing organic, archetypal forms like birds' nests, giant eggs, yonic folds, and snaking river-shapes.
		For one construction, he snaps twigs into varying lengths and weaves them together into a whirlpool-shaped web, gently suspended from a tree branch.
		While some live and die within mere seconds, works like his ominous, human-sized stone eggs could endure as long as Stonehenge or the Cerne Giant, two prehistoric precedents for mystic British land-art.
