She is beautiful, and so is your capture of it, the reflections, and steam capture are a added bonus. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Such a lovely thing to see!...I admire the folks who rebuilt this and kept her restored!..

(Why do they always call ships & boats 'HER'???)

Wonderful and nostalgic image of this pedal steamer Frank. Although she was restored in 2003, she's in a very good and maintained condition.

Regards, Cornelius.

A wonderful shot of the old steamer - I've been on boats very much like these on some river cruises - love the reflections in the water.

Super mirror image and life the detail & colour of this lovely paddle wheeler, also love the ripples in the water showing how there was some wind, also the way the steam is going up a little and then downward
