The Red River as a leading line

We went to Oklahoma yesterday and when we crossed the Red River I snapped this photo. It’s a 70 mph photo but does show the river pretty well.

Beautiful capture.

Great curving line Lou Ann!
A drive by shooting! lol

[Diana]

Lovely shot, would love to see what's behind the bend ;-)

[Jennifer Potter]

Beautiful river. I like how you processed it too. Almost vintage like.

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

[Beryl Lloyd]

Love the meander of the river , the line taking you round the bend !

[Sharon Lee]

Love the contrast

[Maggiemae]

Dark at the sides - you must have done this in black and white. The river is certainly not red and probably never is!

[Milanie]

And the tones are really neat - nice detail at 70mph

[Clare Gadsby]

well that's pretty good for 70mph! i like the curving sweep of water

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely shot & you would never know that you were traveling at that speed!

in the beginning of my project, i learned to spot a good shot while my ex-partner drove. at 70mph this one's a beauty. you did well. and now i'm singing "just remember the red river valley and the cowboy the cowboy that's loved you so true." might take a while to get that off me brain. :-) aces, law. aces!

I like it and that fact that it is a drive by at 70 mph is most impressive . Like @summerfield , l will be singing that song for a while!

@gijsje @radiogirl @ludwigsdiana @jenp @joansmor @beryl @sugarmuser @maggiemae @milaniet @pistache @carole_sandford @summerfield @grammyn Thank you! The Red never lets me down when I’m trying to take it’s picture! @summerfield my father liked the Gene Autry version, but I think the Marty Robbins one is more recognizable these days. The song originated in your fair land, in Manitoba, in the 1870’s, who knew?!

Lovely picture. It is amazing how well pictures turn out at that speed!
