↓ Water over the Ford Dam on the Mississippi River, at Minneapolis/St Paul, MN, seen from the St Paul side. There used to be a Ford Motor Company assembly plant here.
↓ Old hydroelectric turbine on display
↓ I like seeing the wear patterns on the blades of the turbine
↓ Just across the road, on the 135-acre site of the old Ford plant, an entire new neighborhood is being built

General Benjamin Butler’s behavior as commander of Union occupation forces in New Orleans for only eight months in 1862 spawned an evil, enduring reputation among southerners that was rivaled during the Civil War only by that of Gen. William Sherman after his scorched-earth march across Georgia. Labeled “Beast Butler” for his brutish physical appearance and for his harsh policies in New Orleans—especially his infamous “Woman’s Order”—Butler is characterized by historians as a P. T. Barnum-type, headline-grabbing showman for his tumultuous military and political life.

Seen near the Mississippi riverbank. It was glinting in the sun, and from a distance I thought it was a cluster of large shiny insects on a rock (improbable, but that’s what my mind thought). Judging by the packed sand, I’m guessing it’s detritus from last year’s flooding.
Many things get left behind by the floods.
