The Great Rivers in June

Some photographs from my weekend trips over the past few weeks.

Silt collecting on farmland.



Washed up by this muddy river, the Illinois in Calhoun County, Illinois.



Below, the confluence of the Missouri River, to the front, with the Mississippi River, to the back beyond the point.

Such a peaceful looking mating of two massive rivers. Not so peaceful during time of flood - this whole region would be underwater.

The Missouri River at sunset.




Below, enjoying the Missouri!

The meeting of two rivers! That seems extraordinary to me.

:smile: It's extraordinary to me too. I feel there should be some waterfall or white-water rapids to mark the confluence, but it's just the peaceful scene you see.

Thanks for stopping by, good people. :smile:

Right here where I live, two rivers join. Not so mighty anymore, both tamed by dams made by man, but life-giving just the same.

Nice post, Richard.
