Taken during our run up the Thames in the hire boat. The buildings with riverfront are very impressive. Scanned from print (sorry about quality) and processed in GIMP.

Taken during our visit to Henley in the hire boat. Scanned from print (sorry about quality) and processed in GIMP.

Taken during a fall walk a couple of years ago. "The Arc" is a piece of public art (an arch that doesn't quite meet at the top). The Big Sioux River is in the background; we're just above the falls (see PiP), in downtown Sioux Falls. The trees were turning some very nice colors. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken in 1993 during our boating trip on the Thames. This scene was so inviting that I thought of the "Wind in the Willows" at the time. Sunday challenge for "literary" reference. Take a look at this photo on a black background. Image scanned from print (sorry for the poor quality)

Budapest at night, including the remarkable bridges along the Danube river. More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Taken in Muscatine, Iowa, along the river front. It was a lovely, sunny day. This was taken near the very nice fountain (see PiP) Taken with phone and processed with ImageMagick.

This tanker is grounded in the Amazon.

I hadn't seen one that goes so deep. The Minerva is grounded in the Amazon River.

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. (The PiP shows more of the river front). 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.

Taken during a side trip near Wasila, Alaska. I was using an older Sigma 70-300 macro lens with the Nikon D700. Worked fine. Image processed with GIMP.
