Last day of summer

 

The last day of summer (officially) gave us it's best light into this covered cove. The river is low, so the cove is almost dry. 

Not a ripple. 

At this water level all sorts of artifacts come to light. Not sure what this anchor is anchoring, but you can see there is a rusty chain going up the bank, vanishing under the basalt boulders. 

This yacht could be as old as eighty years, but the fort on the other bank was built around 1870. 

Looking upriver towards the German border.
