Photos I took today at ORCS and Morganza

this one is of the mississippi river side near ORCS, i've never seen water like this, its unfathomable

you can see the tree tops and how they've been engulfed



this one is from the atchafalaya side in the same area, its lower, but its still incredible



forebay at morganza:




photo passing over morganza (only 4 bays open at this time)





photo of ORCS at the low sill structure, the wall of water cannot even be remotely understood by seeing the photos

granted, there is always water and current passing through this structure, but i've been many times and never in my life seen anything like this






iphone video of the current, still doesnt do it justice (hope the link works)

this is incredible to witness first hand

trust me, if you have any chance to go and see this, do it, you will not be dissappointed

also, if you're going from baton rouge, also take the opportunity to pass over the new bridge in st. francisville, its a site to see
