Looks like a very busy area Francis.. really enjoy seeing the photo with the painting.. neat stuff! Your painting is so very detailed.. really has the ability to take one there (and the 'muddiness' colour of the waters puts me in mind of the fast flowing rivers around here in Manitoba). Excellent work. :o)
