Autumn at Weston Bend State Park

Weston Bend State Park, a park in western Missouri, offers a chance to relax and to escape from the consumerism of our culture. It's a great place to take a walk on a Saturday afternoon. Frankly, I don't get there often enough.

One of these pictures offers the chance to see the Missouri River on the right. The park is located on the bluffs above the river. The United States Disciplinary Barracks, the only maximum prison for the military, is located to the northeast of the overlook. Fortunately, the afternoon sun on Saturday kept me from taking any pictures in that direction.
