Pilings and Trees
Uploaded: September 12, 2016 | Entered: September 12, 2016 06:43:50
Taken at DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, from Nebraska looking into Iowa. Now a lake, this narrow body of water was created in the early 1960's when the Missouri River was re-channeled. The pilings were installed in the early 1940's to prevent erosion of the riverbank. The trees are dead because they were submerged for a prolonged period during the flooding of 2010 and 2011.
I added a light painterly look to emphasize the naturally occurring design elements here.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
