Lock 15, Mississippi River, Davenport, Iowa
So here I thought I was going to be really clever with this week's submission to the Crazy Tuesday group. The theme is locks and this has to be the biggest lock ever! Well, according to the rules, the picture has to be current and while I processed it this week, I took the shot three years ago while visiting Davenport, Iowa. You just never know when you're going to need a giant lock! And, if you happen to be in the area in the middle of winter you might be treated to a fishing expedition by bald eagles who love the open water just below the lock.
I took this shot on a business trip to Rock Island Arsenal but during the 1970's I lived in Bettendorf, Iowa just up the Mississippi River from Davenport.
