Five years later (see below), the scene looks pretty much the same, despite a few differences. More sunlight and shadow today instead of the bright overcast of the day I took the original shot, and the foliage colors are not as brilliantly yellow this year. Also, I now use a Canon Powershot S95, while I took the original photo with a Canon Powershot G7, which did focus better in zoom. But I didn't want to zoom in today, desiring to capture all that expanse of radiant blue of the sky and reflecting water. What a thrill it was to stand on the river bank and just gaze at all this splendor! And to see how all of this beauty has remained the same, unchanged for the past five years.
Before we went home, I wanted to visit another favorite spot along these banks, this one a mile or so below the dam. Ah, yes! As beautiful as ever!

Swam from those rocks many times, paddled up the river towards Corinth, hiked up to the ledge on the hill to boulder (back then) and laze in the sun (recently) and skied along the ridgeline in good snow years. Thanks for the memories. We are so lucky to have such a treasure close by. Hope you're feeling better soon so you can get out and enjoy.
Both pictures are awesome! Sorry about your knee though!
Lovely photos and stories! Much appreciated! Prayers for continued recovery!
