Tim Voss > Mississippi River Autumn; Saint Paul, Minnesota If you have to work on a Saturday, then a brilliantly sunny autumn morning on the river might be the best way to do it. Or so it seems to me.
Tim Voss > Autumn Skyline; Saint Paul, Minnesota I took this from Harriet Island Park. It's across the river from downtown.

Tim Voss > Towboat JW Hershey at Lambert's Landing; Saint Paul, Minnesota Saint Paul is the historic head of navigation on the Mississippi River. A great deal of industry has flourished here. Most recently, there were several grain elevators and a coal-fired power plant along the city's waterfront. During harvest season, towboats and their barges would haul coal upriver for the power plant and take grain south. it was common to see several towboats moored at Lambert's Landing (aka The Lower Landing). The elevators are nearly all gone now. The coal-fired power plant was torn down this year (2009). So catching three towboats at the same time is a rare thing these days.
Tim Voss > Lambert's Landing; Saint Paul, Minnesota Framing the towboat with the power line tower is a bit of a gimmick to my mind. But I do like the result. The towboat is the J.W. Hershey.
Tim Voss > Towboat J.W. Hershey and the Robert Street Bridge; Saint Paul, Minnesota Here's a view of the Hershey's bow and knees. The Robert Street Bridge is in the background. It dates to 1926.
