The River Sights

Along the river banks which were about fifteen to twenty feet high, homes were built on piers. It is amazing to think that these rivers could rise above the banks and even more amazing that it could threaten higher levels. Of course we humans will go to great lengths to live where we wish.

Intrepid photographer Annette was at it again with these extraordinary pictures of our wake one evening as we pressed on toward our destination. The colors changed moment to moment as the light changed. Another one of the many such experiences we have had on this trip.

Here the sky and the water compete for our attention.

We remember that the hills of Wayne were giving in to bare branches while we were still enjoying peak colors. This is an example of the wide palette we encountered along the Tennessee. The trip to Chattanooga was filled with mountains full of color. We enjoyed sharing these vistas with Susan, Cailean, and Grant by motoring up the river from Hale's Bar Marina toward Chattanooga.
