Park Fountains (HFF, H.A.N.W.E.)

Park Fountains (HFF, H.A.N.W.E.)
Taken in a lovely park along the MIssissippi River, in Muscatine, Iowa.

This town is overshadowed by the "Quad Cities" nearby, but is worth a stop for itself. This park looks like a nice stop on a hot summer day.

Did you know that this was a major pearl button manufacturing town in the late 19th century? There is a statue in this park to the mussel fisherman of that time.

Image taken with phone and processed into square format with GIMP.

Using the square format allowed me to crop until there is some Rule of Thirds behavior present.
