Two dam falls, and more
These images were captured in southern Missouri around Rockbridge and at Mammoth Springs, Arkansas. The occasion was the first 2011 edition of semi-annual fishing weekends by an informal group of which I was fortunately accepted as a participant. Our normal target is Rockbridge Trout Ranch, but we have gone to other places. Almost all of the group fish. But not I. I shoot. And here are the results. You will see two falls, formed by dams and other stuff.

An old store and station on Missouri State HIghway 95 north of Rockbridge.
Up close and personal with the gas pump. The price was 35 cents per gallon. The brand was Phillips 66.
A section of County Road 142 west of Rockbridge MO.
The road drops downhill to to a field just east of the last scene. This is a great road. I have shot it before.
An old house on County Road 333 northwest of Rockbridge MO.
A low water bridge over Monastery Creek northwest of Rockbridge MO.
The outflow of the low-water bridge from the opposite side of the bridge view in the previous picture.
How to shoot a barn in the rain. Step into a neighboring shed and fire away. This is the old barn on the Mackey Place at Rockbridge Trout Ranch.
A fly-fisherman makes a cast just below the falls at Rockbridge Trout Ranch. The falls are formed by a dam erected to turn the water wheel which powered and old grist mill, out of the picture to the right.
A wider view of the falls.
Mammoth Spring Falls at Mammoth Springs Arkansas. The falls are formed by a dam just below the out put of the spring which feeds the, you guessed it, Spring River. Visitors are encouraged to walk across the bridge over the falls.
