Flooding of the Batture

Montz, Louisiana

Gayle and I tried for more sunset pictures but things were not right for spectacular sunsets. I did get this reflection picture in the flooded area of the batture across the levee from our house. The batture is a buffer zone between the river and the levee. In some places the river may be a mile from the levee, by our house it's only about 400' at mean.

Canon PowerShot G5
1/13s f/3.0 at 28.8mm full exif

There is always that possibility but the levees are over 20' higher from that point.

Nice reflection. Do you worry about getting flooded?

You caught a little sun in the reflection. Must be nice when the river levels finally recede.
