The Mississippi is slowly rising. This was shot standing under the Arch at mid-day Sunday, looking towards Illinois. There is a grand staircase leading down to the river. The couple sits on a landing two-thirds of the way down. There is a street along the river at the bottom, usually many feet over the water. The stage with the flags is a few steps over the street. Now it's an island. In fact, it will be submerged by the time you see this post.
oooooh, impressive!
ReplyDeleteWe are used to floods here in Avignon but the Mississipi is so much mightier!
Your Thursday arch was particularly beautiful last Thursday.
la photo est superbe, avec les deux personnages sur la rive, on se rend bien compte de l'importance de ce fleuve.
ReplyDeletethe picture is superb, with the two characters on the shore, we realized the importance of this river.
The scale of the river is so well represented in this photo with the two people. And yuck is it muddy.
ReplyDeleteHmm...I have a healthy respect for surging water - I hope those people in the photo do as well. Reminds me of how small we really are compared with Nature.
ReplyDeleteStay dry!
That is a pretty awesome (in its proper sense) image!
