River of Glass


Power Plant on the Missouri, originally uploaded by gwENvision.

This is the Sibley Power Plant on the MIssouri River in Eastern Jackson County. It always amazes me when the river looks like this. Not hardly a ripple or disturbance, more like a lake than the powerful river we know the Missouri to be. Of course the Big Muddy has many moods, calm and glassy like this is just one of them. We've had a recent demonstration of full, muddy and filled with debris during the flooding this spring. I've seen white caps in windy conditions and ice jams in the winter. No matter what mood the river might take on it is endlessly interesting and a constant source of amazement.
