I discovered this photo opportunity on a day's outing when I was in Rochester, MN this summer. I waited for a train to come by, but it must have been held up somewhere. When you are from Missouri, you figure a train holdup is inevitable. This is located obviously in Red Wing, Mn. You can read more about it here.

In the background Barn Bluff overlooks the town and its history is very interesting. You can check it out here. The Mississippi River is just to the right of this scene and it was flooding. I might post one of it at a later date. If a train had come along, I would have been caught between a brick and a wet place. Maybe a couple of wet places.

If you look closely you will see the American Flag atop Barn Bluff and something in the sky. It might be a bird, it might not. I could have cloned it out, but decided to leave it there.
