Mike's "Best of 2009"

This is one of my favorite pictures from 2009
It is a digital manipulation of the Keokuk Plant in the tri-state area of Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. I took this picture returning from Macomb Illinois. This reservoir serves as locks for barge traffic, as well as a power plant. This plant produces the same amount of energy as a coal plant burning 1,000 tons of coal per day.
