While hiking along and into the rivers it happens to meet not only some water inhabitants ...

... but also every kind of wrecks that the river current has carried during the floods.

They can be leaves and sticks that get stuck between the trunks of riparian trees ...

... or along the banks reached by water during floods only ...

... or trapped by the shrubs crushed by the current.

They can be huge trunks abandoned on the river bed ...

... either small sticks left on the pebbles ...

... or entire small trees lying on the stones with branches that seem like arms.

Sometimes the woody wrecks are massed by the waters in heaps that take on strange, almost alien shapes: either single ...

or in couple.

All images were taken by me with the smartphone camera along the stretch of the river Panaro near the town of Marano:
