Effigy Mounds and Pikes Peak State Park
I took the liberty of the springtime weather this week to drive to Effigy Mounds and Pikes Peak State Park. I went to Pike's Peak first to catch the sunrise and it was great. The best shot was of a photographer standing on the balcony looking at the sunrise:
It was beautiful. The sun wasn't as big here as other places though. Next I took some shots of the Mississippi at Effigy Mounds National Memorial:
I like the smoothness of the water on this day. These are great places to visit if you want to catch sunrises and sunsets on the Missisippi River.
