Here's a set of two pictures from Lover's Leap at Hannibal, Missouri: one from November of 2012 when the Mississippi was rather low and another from late April 2013, with a moderately high flood level. See more pictures here.
The Mississippi River flows from east to west through Muscatine, Iowa before taking a sharp turn to the south on the west end of town. This panorama was taken at the spot where the river makes the turn (photo taken March 2013). See more photos here. The big bend at Muscatine, Iowa
