Local stream. What's Iceland got that I don't have right near home?

I accompanied my daughter on the drive to her new job in Missouri. It was mostly head-down mileage but I insisted we make a quick side trip to see the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. For a river-rat like me, it's hallowed ground. To justice to it, you'd need a helicopter or drone but I just had to take the photo--I mean, wow!

Looking upstream from the Illinois side:

Super crop:

One of many great passages in Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi is his description of that confluence.

Thanks for the reference! Haven't read it but that would probably be a great way to pass the time while I wait for my shoulder to heal.

It is a non-fiction work, describing life on steamboats during the period when he trained to be a steamboat pilot. The river was completely wild then -- no dams anywhere -- meaning that lovations of sandbars were and other kinds of hazards could move from day to day. Good pilots needed to know how to read the water, day and night, and at major stops, like St. Louis, pilots going upstream would trade information with ones who had just come downstream. It's a book rich with description of the water, the shorelines, and full of colorful stories about boats, captains, crew, passengers, etc., and the life in that place and time.

I'm not a great book reader but I just ordered a copy--I'm psyched.

I've never attempted that but I get your point. I think it might still be a pretty boring photo. The key I think is shooting from elevation but there's not much of that in the vicinity.

These are from Colorado, near Georgetown Co. and Frisco, Co. I am not really sure of the lake that was nearby. The Wife and I just went driving one day while staying with Son and DIL that is a @#$ job

Hope to go back later this year and with GPS ,I should be able to know where the heck we have been

The second "High Falls" we've visited in the past little while - this one near Bancroft Ontario.

Algonquin has more than a few "High Falls" spots :-)

Killarney is a really special place. Hoping to go back there this summer with the kids... I already got the map!

A long drop, but a feeble discharge. (scan)
