Congregation

On the Mississippi River at Monticello, Minnesota. Noted for the large number of swans, but all are welcomed by the nuclear power plant upstream which warms the water with it's cooling discharge.
A women started to feed the swans and over the years the word spread food and warmth and all are welcome. And they came!
