Another shot showing the Illinois River flooding at William G. Stratton State Park. Morris, IL. The rain has finally stopped, so hopefully the river will recede.

Here is the Jones Beach Water Tower. You can see the stone structures at the bottom that house the lights that were in my previous post. I have an abiding love and heart for the shore, and, the memories that I have of growing up around this beach. This beautiful tower (it actually is a functioning water tower) is representative of the art deco design featured throughout the bath houses and other structures of Jones Beach.
