Going For a Swim

This game of stick ball has partially been moved underwater, due to the flooding. Compare it to this earlier post.

A Fast Current

Although it is hard to catch in a picture, the current is visible in these surface circles of the river.

Flood at Ross's Landing

This summer has been more hectic than I thought and I've had a hard time getting out to take Chattanooga photos. Recently we've had tons of rain (over 6 inches this weekend). I'm pre-posting some of the flood pictures this week while I'm out of town. I won't be able to post any comments for a few days since I'll have limited internet access.

Compare the top shot of Ross's Landing to this one taken last November to see how high the water has risen. The eddies in the top shot are the pillars that are normally lining the riverfront.

Metal Flames

Ross's Landing is lined with columns topped with these metal bowls. (See the header for a view from across the river.) They appear to be made for holding a fire, but I've never seen them used.

Linking with Skywatch Friday.
