Nice capture of this paddle-wheel boat.

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Rick Schies]

I bet that was fun

@jayberg you know I love it when you sing to me! ;~}

@digitalrn Probably but we didn't go. I get motion sick too easily.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city

Awesome shot

Proud Mary! Lovely to see a real paddle wheel boat.

[Maggiemae]

I love this shadowy look at the boat with the light on the wheel spray! Nice and clear in that low light!

[katy]

@deburahiru Aww, Deb! You are singing to me too! ;~}

@chrissieh Thanks, Chrissie. It was into the sun so a bit tricky to shoot but it turned out OK.

[katy]

@kwiksilver I am so glad, Gillian.

@maggiemae I am glad you like it, Maggiemae! It was into the sun.

This is picturesque! I love the churning water around the wheel! We took Mom on one of these in Chattanooga...on the river there. That was about 20 years ago I guess.. maybe more. We had dinner...it was nice. It was for Mom's Day.

@espyetta That makes a wonderful memory for you. They are very picturesque and have a romantic feeling to them.

Fantastic shot, Katy. We have one like this docked all the time in Old Sacramento that has a few restaurants. Wish it would go out on the water so I can take photos like this one and see those wheels spinning like you captured so well. Love the song and Jay's add to the lyrics. FAV

@darsphotos Wow! thanks so much, Darlene, especially for the FAV!

[Marc]

classic, love that waterwheel.

@jmrittle Thanks for the comment, MArc.

This reminds me of 'Moon River', my father's favourite song..."I'll be crossing you in style, someday". What a way to cross a river, gorgeous!

@silverlight Now that is an old song! I hate that I know exactly what you are referring to ! ;~} Thanks, Cheryl.
