The River

Description

For the PG101 "Country Song" theme: A view of West Virginia's scenic New River. Perhaps my all-time favorite country song is "The River," co-written by Garth Brooks and Victoria Shaw and performed by Brooks on his "Ropin' the Wind" album.
"You know a dream is like a river, ever changin' as it flows.
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes..."

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, auto mode, ISO: 80, FocalLength: 8.90 mm, Model: Canon PowerShot G10
