These Wednesday afternoon shots--as with so many others we've
posted---capture the eyecatching beauty of this autumn's color display
in the Peoria area! They come to us from Douglas H. Hanbury of Peoria.
He provides us with the backround of the area in which these photos were
taken, explaining:
" They were taken both coming and going through Detweiler Park, in the NE corner of Peoria, IL. Detweiler Park abuts the Illinois River, and a drive leads from the river lowlands up through the bluffs, 300 feet higher in elevation. Atop the bluffs is an upscale residential area, and then Peoria proper. The water shot was taken on the McClugage Bridge, which connects Peoria and E. Peoria, IL along War Memorial Drive, US Highway 24. The view is southbound toward downtown Peoria."
Beautiful shots indeed, Douglas! THANKS so much for sending them along!
