It's not easy to find a good vantage point to GigaPan the flooding on the Mississippi River. Vicksburg offers one of the few unobstructed bluff-top viewing sites along the lower river. The day was not ideal - partly cloudy - as can bee seen in the patchiness of the exposure on the right half of the image. The batter...

This was taken from the top of Fort Hill in the Vicksburg National Military Park. The scene was rather hazy, and the winds were unusually brisk. I hope to retake this on a calmer, clearer day. The flood waters of 2011 are still about 10 feet above flood stage.

The flood wall has been completed and the waters still rise. The Vicksburg City Front has become a major tourist attraction as people come from miles around to view this "once in a lifetime" event. Thankfully the levee system built up in the 1920's and 1930's should help to minimize the potential damage from this eno...

This is a better view of 8 of the 32 murals seen in the gigapan at www.gigapan.org/gigapans/75480/ . I hope to do more groups like this in the future to give them the exposure they deserve.

Another attraction in Vicksburg MS, and a favorite cooling off spot for kids in the hot Mississippi sun. The water front murals can be seen in the background, and a less obstructed view of the murals can be seen here www.gigapan.org/gigapans/75480/

Taken from the Observation Deck of the Mississippi Welcome Center on I-20 looking west toward Louisiana. The bridge on the right is the old Hwy 80 bridge, and it is no longer in use for vehicular traffic. However the railroad tracks are still used regularly by long freight trains. The bridge on the left is the I-20 ...

The historical themed murals by renowned artist Robert Dafford are shown in this Gigapan photo in an attempt to show them in perspective. The colorful, large mural by Martha Ferris close to where the flood gate opening is, was the first mural to be done on this flood wall along Levee St. It was difficult to do them j...
