I agree! This is RICH with deep colors that both soothe the eye and fill the senses. I like the tree branches contrasting against the sky, too!

Is that a tug boat there? What a bonus!

Love it! -Laura

Thank you Brett, Laura, and Ray and Audrey! Yes, there is a tug out there moving a barge. The river never sleeps! Well, unless it's frozen over; then the traffic stops. This was taken just a block from where we used to live, so we could hear the tugboat horns at night. Kind of miss that, now... we are 5 miles from the river now. #8038334

What a beautiful scene..the colors are magnificent and I love the tugboat rolling down the river...know what you mean about missing the sound of the horns - when we lived in rural PA, we could hear the trains down in the valley - ended up being a comforting nighttime sound. Gorgeous presentation, Nadya! #8039014
