Landscape photograph of a morning scene overlooking the Iowa River under a cloud filled sky. The sky is covered with dense patchy clouds with areas of streaky clouds and open sky and the river below reflects the brighter sky above it. The river is lined on each side by tall silhouetted banks covered in dense trees and vegetation. The clouds in the lower atmosphere are in dark purple shadows while the streaky clouds higher in the atmosphere are highlighted orange-pink by the sun which is still below the horizon. The patches of open sky are lighter and darker morning blues.
