Misi-ziibi

Alma, Wisconsin, USA

The Ojibwe Native American Indians called this river Misi-ziibi, meaning "Great River" in their language.  Today we know it as the Mississippi River.  It originates in Minnesota and flows more than 2500 miles (4000 km) either bordering or passing through ten states until it reaches the Gulf of Mexico via Louisiana.

This shot is taken from Buena Vista Park, an appropriate name I must say!
