Mississippi River Sunrise by lynnz

Mississippi River Sunrise

My husband and I stayed in a quaint little motel in McGregor Iowa right next to the Mississippi River. This was our view in the morning.
It's no longer a question about the cost of the room...this view is *Priceless*! How lovely to take advantage of it!! Gorgeous!

Lynn, this is simply gorgeous! What a fantastic view! Could you share the name of the motel? I'll be in Iowa for a visit later this month. Love this photo. Love the Mississippi River. A big Iowa FAV!
May 8th, 2014  
Stunning.

@khawbecker I would be happy to share the name of the motel but I'm not sure I would recommend it!! It's pretty old but it was clean. I had to go buy a hair dryer because there wasn't one in the bathroom! There is also a railroad track right next to it. We decided to just go for the adventure of staying right on the river! It is Holiday Shores Motel in McGregor. I think they are building a new addition but it isn't open yet.
We saw a nice looking place in Marquette but it wasn't right next to the river. There are more up scale places in Prairie Du Chien WI right across the river too.

Thanks, Lynn. Your motel stay here was well worth the picture. :)
May 8th, 2014  
Wow!!! That is striking. What a beautiful view!
May 8th, 2014  
Nice sky
May 8th, 2014  
It looks so peaceful. How nice to be right on the water! Unless....is it slightly flooded? The base of the tree line seems a little submerged....I'd definitely go for a hotel on stilts. :)
May 8th, 2014  
@gratefulness Good eye! Yes, it was flooded. One of the little parks was closed because the water was over the sidewalks.
May 8th, 2014  
Absolutely stunning. What amazing colours.
May 8th, 2014  
Lovely colors and framing!
