I work for parks and countryside in yorkshire.

This happens quite frequently (maybe twice a year) at roundhay park, in the gorge.
The whole landscape is full of iron ore deposites and it can turn our small beck into a fast running river of blood.

Quite pretty when it happens actually.

“Dude, Moses is giving us the signal! Pour the sulfur and the iron filings in to the sea!”

“I don’t know…Isn’t this kinda like fraud?”

“Dude, it’s in the name of God! Just DO IT!”

This is similar to something i discovered once on a holiday to Wales. I can’t remember exactly where in wales i was, but there was a stream flowing into the sea and it had turned a dark reddy-orange colour cos there was so much iron in it. It was like the stream was bleeding into the sea….or someone had poured a load of dye into it further up.
Creepy stuff.

“Every so often, the glacier spews forth a clear, iron-rich liquid that quickly oxidizes and turns a deep shade of red.”

Hmm, does it occur once a month?
