Smooth Move

Flood waters from Dry Run Creek moved swiftly under a footbridge located at Boyson Park at 3:50 pm CDT, Wednesday, September 5, 2018. The bridge is located at the border of Cedar Rapids and Marion Iowa, just south of Boyson Road. Persistent heavy rains the previous three weeks contributed to flood conditions in Eastern Iowa. Dry Run Creek was about two days from its crest when this long exposure capture was made--and of course, it was raining. The image is a 20 second exposure at f/22, ISO 100 and 16mm focal length.
