It was low tide when I was in Hull, so the titular River Hull was showing a lot of mud. I think it made for more interesting pictures though

Of course I know the Thames has tides, but it is interesting to me to learn of other rivers with tides as well. Our rivers have no water in them for the most part, just the bed, and if you are lucky, a trickle. Such is life in the SW USA! Anyway, I agree, the mud makes for a far more interesting set of photos.

Pretty much all our rivers that empty into the sea or into an estuary (as is the case with the River Hull in my pictures) are tidal to some extent, often for considerable distances inland if their courses take them through low-lying countryside. The River Trent, for instance, is tidal inland for 45 miles from the Humber estuary (or 90 miles if you count where the estuary reaches the North Sea). It’s pretty interesting to see the difference in water level between low and high tides in towns a long way from the sea. I expect much larger rivers, like the Mississippi, will have far larger tidal ranges.
I expect that many of the rivers in the SW USA are similar to the ones I’ve seen in places like Spain and Italy.

This is really interesting to learn about – I may explore this further, especially the ones in the US. I do not recall ever learning about this in geography class.
