The Mighty Mo


 
BetterPhoto.com All Time Best Photo Contest Editor's Pick BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner   The Mighty Mo
The Mighty Mo
Infrared shot of the Bellevue Bridge that spans the Missouri River, with Nebraska on the left and Iowa on the right. I took this picture a few days after the Missouri River flooded its banks in May. The place I was standing was under water. The park was closed for water clean-up, so I had to kinda "sneak" in to get this shot.

  Your IR images are eerie and enchanting, Ken! Love the look. This is another great one! This territory looks familiar... except that we are on the other side of Iowa along the Mississippi. Which also "NEARLY" over-ran its banks this spring. (That is, it did - but stopped short of major flooding, thankfully.)
