Looking up a wide Ohio River from the site of the 1780s Fort Jefferson.
Photos taken 11 Aug.
Zooming in over the tops of the trees on the other side of the Ohio one can see the tops of the bridge over the Mississippi to Cairo, Illinois.
Panning left or down the Ohio....
Panning downstream one more time....
As you can see the trees have been cleared so that crops (probably corn) can be planted.
From the left: a large cross which is spotlighted at night, the U.S. Flag, the top of a derrick or hoist likely used to clear floating or partially submerged logs, and my rig.
A better view of the bridge I used to cross the Ohio.
A final view of a notable location, where Fort Jefferson once stood near the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
