Farming on the Mighty Mississippi

Mississippi River, Illinois and Missouri, USA

Flying along a river, especially one as storied as the Mighty Mississippi, reminds us of how much of our nation's growth flows from river commerce and agriculture.  These fluffy, low hanging clouds add to the beauty of the river and farmlands.

Memphis on the Mississippi

Memphis, Tennessee, USA
In this aerial shot of Memphis, you can easily see downtown, the Pyramid Arena, the Mississippi River, the Hernando de Soto Bridge (with a tip of Arkansas), General DeWitt Spain Airport, and the confluence of Interstates 40 and 69. Landmarks like the Peabody Hotel, Beale Street, and Sun Records are in the picture, but cannot be seen clearly.

An Evening in Memphis

Night View from Peabody Hotel Roof, Memphis, Tennessee, USA
We used a long exposure to capture a bitterly cold evening in Memphis from atop the famed Peabody Hotel. Memphis is along the Mississippi River and it is featured prominently in this scene.

We wonder if the unlit letters on the Memphis Business Journal building are a portend of things to come in print media.
