Golden Arch

Golden Arch © 2008 Bo Mackison

On the Mississippi Riverfront at Dubuque, Iowa. The bridge in the background is the Julian Dubuque Bridge and connects to East Dubuque, Illinois. I was attracted to the patterns and colors in the glow of the setting sun.

We pulled over along the river to take a few photographs and when I got out of the car, I was immediately swarmed by buffalo gnats. Evidently the wet weather and high waters have provided the little beasts with a perfect breeding ground. I took only a couple of shots, and I did those super fast. Yech!

I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you.

    Another shot with beautiful muted rusts and greens, yellows, blues. I love the texture, too.

    I agree with Bernie. The patterns and lines create a super perspective. You’ve also captured a wonderful mix of colors. The evening sun must have been very rich that night.

    I agree with ybonesy, Bernie K., and Gandalf… all I wanted to say. I love this capture and my type of photo. I’d hang this one on my wall, for sure. Very captivating with the patterns and line. Excellent! 🙂

    Sorry about the gnats. They’re a pain, but at least they’re not mosquitoes.
