Thursday Arch Series

Mississippi Low Water 2012-07-21 2.psd

Taken from the center of the walkway on Eads Bridge looking south. If the river were at a normal level most of the tan levee on the right would be covered. In a commonplace flood it would all be underwater. It's hard to tell in a wide angle shot but the distance from one waterline to another is a lot shorter than usual.

This has been going on for months. No relief in sight. The only solution I can think of is to go to Maine.

  1. The large ring on the right side provides a sense of scale in the wide angle shot. Still an admiring image

  4. That sounds like a good plan of action Bob! Meanwhile I am again astounded by your image of the Arch and really enjoy that you've incorporated the tree arches over the bridge span into the shot!
