Mississippi Roaring
The Mississippi is in full spring melt form, roaring over the St. Anthony Falls. You see many items donated by nature floating in the river, those being primarily trees and tree sections. Small craft wisely stay out of the water, not only in this immediate area (obviously), but also further up and down stream, as it’s not the trees you can see you have to worry about, but the ones under the surface.
Unfortunately the viewing platform (on the left in the picture) is still closed for the season. Rightfully so, as we are now in the schizophrenic part of our season, with near 50 degrees and sunshine tomorrow, followed by a half of foot of snow after that.
The Red River flood threat in northern Minnesota has subsided. If interested in that story click here for link to local news.

Non deve essere per nulla facile vivere alle sue vicinanze…

It’s good to know the Red River flood has receded. I’ve been watching pics of that on the news. Amazing to see your shot of the Mississippi in spring roar. Must be spectacular to see and hear in reality – I’m happy with the photo tho.

I’ll say the sound must be amazing also. Nice one.
