Just upstream from the center of Alton, Illinois, there is a limestone bluff with the image of a fearsome creature. It is known as the Piasa Bird (pronounced PIE-a-saw). Its history and meaning is too long to set out here but if you are interested click this link.

A peculiar legend, but I like the image.
When traveling to visit aunts in Alton, we passed by this, and it was grand.
Nice photo. Thanks for the link.
