Fantastic capture Bill. I always heard the Mississippi was a huge river and very busy. You captured that perfectly. It looks really wide and you were so high up it must be good and wide. #6673994

Sherran Andersen level-classic October 28, 2008

Great capture Bill. Sherran #6675899

Bill Knaps October 28, 2008

From Tiia down to Sherran I have read and appreciate all your nice comments. the Mississippi is quite a large river Janet. Further south the wider. It looks much smaller from where I am shooting than it really is. Sometimes it is quite busy. Many ships come up the Mississippi. Baton Rouge is as far north as ships can go. By ships I mean the largest ocean liners. Bill #6676002

October 29, 2008

Bill, love the shot. I grew up in Minnesota where one can walk across the Mississippi. Have watched the barges go through Lock & Dam 18 in Gladstone, ILL. Nice to see a picture like this from that end of the River.

Gene #6677157

Kathleen K. Parker level-deluxe October 29, 2008

Great shot, Bill. I cannot imagine walking across the Mississippi, Eugene. I know there has to be a starting point, but it is so hard to imagine. Bill, you had to get up really high, and you did.
Love this photo.

Bill Knaps October 29, 2008

Shot this from the observation deck at the top of the capitol. I had an Air Force Buddy who used to talk about being able to walk across the Mississippi where he lived. Thank you for the nice comments Eugene and Kathleen. Appreciate you very much. Bill #6677767
