Along the Mississippi River - Quad Cities, IA

I was at Lock & Dam #14 near Bettendorf, IA last weekend. Some of these aren't as crisp as I'd like, but given the overcast skies, I'm pretty happy with them. All were taken with an Olympus E520, 300mm f/5.6 and image cropped in PhotoShop. No other enhancements have been done other than my watermark.

Very majestic!

This eagle was finally successful at catching lunch after several attempts!

Awesome, Von! Eagles are at the very top of my wish list for good photo ops.

Looks like Lāwa`i Bay at Allerton Garden, an amazing place.

Valentino Rossi. Moto GP - the greatest sport on the planet on the fastest motorcycles on the planet. Will be watching today from Austin. Just another day at the office...

Right island. Wrong locale.

I was fooled because it looks so much like this picture, but I can see the differences. How long will you keep us guessing?

Given the whelming interest I generated, I guess this is long enough.

The location is Moloa'a, which has become one favorite locales. Finding places like Moloa'a is one of the charms of Kaua'i, because there are so many pockets and beaches tucked away here and there.

Sigh, just another reason to go back. Next time we're headed up to the lighthouse, we'll have to check it out. Thanks for the stumper.

Quick question, and I know this photo is old, but is this the Atlantis located in the Bahamas???
