This is a composite of three photos taken at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in October 2012, at Fort Defiance State Park near Cairo, Illinois; the Ohio is on the left and the Mississippi on the right. Just over a year before, the point from where I took these photos was under water due to recording flooding. Note: this is a much larger (and wider) picture than I normally upload. When you click on it, you will see the wider version. Click on it again for the full resolution image.
