I got tired of my gallery looking so drab, that I thought I would add a little color. By the way, is drab a color? I hope not.

This was taken a couple of years ago at the Villages Festival in Southern Iowa. This particular shot was taken from the bridge crossing the Des Moines River in Keosaqua, Iowa. The word Keosauqua derives from the Meskwaki and Sauk name for the Des Moines River, "Ke-o-saw-qua", which literally translates as "Bend in the River".

If you mix Drab with Tick..you get a poetic 'Bard'!... a famous story teller!

A super 'line' here...the river curve just leads the eye to adventures unknown!...Colour is terrific too

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

A perfect sky, excellent reflections, stunning colors, and a composition which catch the attention instantly are the ingredients of this great posting OFT (Owd Fella Tick). If these reasons are not sufficient to label this posting as a favorite, than the phenomenon 'favorite' can better be abolished.

Thanks for sharing mate!

Regards, Cornelius.

The reflection in the water is the 'opposite' of the real situation !
I think this makes a wonderful entry for the current contest
Good luck, Ron !

Not only a beauty of a shot because of the wonderful colors and great angle but I'm also impressed with those clouds and how they seem to be layered and just suspended as if waiting for you to take their picture.

This has everything Tick. It has wonderful autumnal colours, fantastic reflections and a gorgeous sky. The big question is, why has it been in your bin for so long?

A great lazy river shot judging by the calmness in the surface of the water. A beautiful fall capture with a nice glow in the colours. Nice depth and perspective in the scene.
