Nothing special about this photo. I just figured most of you would never see this town, so here is a glimpse.
Radar O'Reilly from the TV show M.A.S.H. claimed to be from this town. That is untrue. Tom Arnold claims to be from this town. That is true.
The specks in the sky are birds. It is against the law to kill them in Ottumwa, so I didn't.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Have to agree with Richie about this could be ant where near us
fabulous details..and I love the POV on this...the line of the bridge leads the eye to the town!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Great perspective. It looks so familiar, like hundreds of places I have been, and that is the beauty of it. Thanks for sharing.

---Nothing special about this photo---
I can't agree with you Tick because, indeed, I have never seen this town. Everything what's new to me has my interest and is special to me.
It's a good composition taken from a well chosen vantage point.
Thanks for sharing this one Owd Fella!

I never thought I would see Ottumwa Iowa - I went to college with a girl from there however she only stayed one semester as she missed Ottumwa too much - she never tired of talking about it! This image so resembles the main street of the town where my brother lives which is St Charles Il which is situated along the Fox river. The resemblance is remarkable - thanks for taking me to Ottumwa Tick with this excellent perspective.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
A beautiful view of the city with the bridge leading in. I believe Ottumwa, Iowa is nicknamed "The City Of Bridges". That must be the Des Moines River. I traveled through Ottumwa several times (down good old Hwy 63) in my younger days ... so familiar territory for me.
A nicely composed scene, Tick.

I LOVE LABS!!!
Well I say it a great photo of a place I never scene before and you focus is amazing showing all the detail even up the hill road the other side of the bridge and the colours or lovely and natural looking plus love the church in this stunning scene too,Plus the building to the lift of the church with the sandy colours adds a lovely feel to this capture as well.

I too like your POV on this with the bridge and street lamps. Thanks for straightening us out on where Radar O' Reilly and Tom Arnold are and are not from. I have a better understanding of Arnold's wacky humor.

Music is what feelings sound like.
Never been there, but this is a terrific photo and a welcoming sight. Wonderful angle the shot was taken from also. Makes me want to visit this charming looking little city. Thanks for sharing.

Ottumwa looks like a peaceful small town to me. A nicely composed shot Tick especially with that bridge on far right.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Love the definition in this, almost looks as though the water is flowing. x

I'm pleased to hear that you are a law abiding citizen Tick. So much detail to see here even though this is a town few have heard of. (I realise that I broke all grammatical rules ending that last sentence with a preposition but I'm in a devil may care mood!)

"Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people." W.C. Fields. So I bet you'll go over to see My Gallery.
Never been to Ottumwa but this reminds me of Dubuque with the hilly streets. Nice looking place and shot Ticker!!!

ALWAYS VIEW FULL SCREEN...SO MUCH MORE BEAUTY!
You captured all of our homes, all of our towns.
As for your M.A.S.H reference:
I am going to have a Grape Nehi, see if I can find a Tony Packo's Double Dog to go with it, and then head off to bed with Radar's teddy. Night Tick!

That's a great looking shot, Tick. Love the angle of the bridge. I think my cousin's uncle's sister-in-law's brother was from there. lol.

I ALWAYS VIEW YOUR IMAGES FULL SIZE.
Splendidly sharp and clear image Tick. Nice work all round.
I agree, I can say with some certainty I shall never see Ottumwa. Not on my bucket list - mainly because I had never heard of it till now :) Looks a nice town

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Looks like a nice pleasant town with some beautiful architecture Tick - nicely photographed and presented.

Life is a Constant Audition
Again, a lot going on. I find my eyes jumping around trying to
check everything out: bridge to the street continuation of the bridge, the buildings, trees without leaves...... great compostion.
