In the early morning of May 21, 1855 a small party of freedom seekers and their conductors crossed the Mississippi River at St. Louis, attempting to reach Illinois and eventually safety.
The confluence of two seperate streams at the beginning of the gorge. To the left is a deep chasm and to the right the Bear's Head.
Near the border of Naperville and Bolingbrook, IL, the two branches of the DuPage River, the East and West Branch, combine to form the DuPage River. This area, called a confluence, has been the site of great interest for settlers during past 220 years, from the DuPage Trading Post occupying the land in 1800, to the Scott Settlement in 1830, to the modern trails carved to the confluence. The view of confluence is only really visible by panorama, as the trail leads to the point between the branches, not to a view of the confluence itself. This photograph was taken at the tip of the land between the branches, with the West Branch on the left of the image, and the East Branch on the right. This is the view standing on the confluence point, with the joined DuPage River flowing directly behind the camera, with not even a foot more of the bank behind.
Elbow River (right) joins up with the Bow River as it flows eastwards through Calgary, eventually making its way to the Hudson Bay, several thousand kilometres downstream via the South Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, and Nelson Rivers.
One of those strange, probably never considered, views between a building to another building. I find the reflections and textures interesting.

The confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers south of Harpers Ferry in West Virginia. The calm and clear water comes from the Potomac, while the muddy water comes from the Shenandoah. I guess it had rained a lot up in the mountains the week before the picture was taken.
The easiest access to the confluence of the Colorado and the Green Rivers is from the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. This is near the head of the trail to the river junction.
The Wisconsin River flows into the Mississippi River at this point visible from Pikes Peak State Park, Clayton County, Iowa.
Confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. I was a few days late this month waiting for the flood waters to go down far enough to actually reach the confluence without getting wet. Yet another storm was just passing as I got there.
