Just how low is the Mississippi? Let's get a measuring gauge. This is the iconic statue of Lewis and Clark landing at St. Louis after their voyage of discovery to Oregon and back in 1804 - 1806. The first two pictures were taken on Sunday. Then going, going, gone. Those shots are from the floods of 2010 and 2008. That's a lot of muddy water.
Apologies in advance: this may be a light week on comments. Heavy week at work and have to organize my gear and pack for my week at the Maine Media Workshops, heaven on earth for photographers. I'll document it as I go along.

j'aime l'angle de la premiere photo, et surtout le Bye Bye final ;o)) superbe
A great opportunity for a floating monument I think. But very good documented.
The first shot really really provides the grandeus perspective
Quite a contrast.
Lewis & Clark arrived in St. Louis on July 4, which makes for dramatic reenactments in front of crowds gathered at the riverfront for the 4th of July festivities and fireworks.
beautifully illustrated.
Unbelievable! What a great post, Bob.
Outstanding shots, Bob.
Amazing images Bob, talk about two extremes! Dramatically shown!!
Frighteningly brutal for the statue. Great series.
