Gate Way Park Flooding 2010

Cherry Blossom Festival Preview

This Blog Post features the Gate Way Park in Macon, Georgia. The abundance of Winter rains has caused the Ocmulgee River to be at or above flood stage for the most of 2010 thus far.

Here you can see the top rail of the Bandstand which is under water. Out in the river the water is moving quite fast. I took these pictures during the 8 o'clock hour this morning. An overcast morning that changed to rain.

I just had to capture these Cherry Blossoms this morning. They looked quite nice for this being the 9th day of February.

Of course I had to also get a close up shot. This one was taken with a flash so that the background is dark.

No visit to Gate Way Park is complete without taking time to reflect on the greatness of Otis Redding.
