Fishing and Feeding Ducks on the Mississippi

On one of my earliest outings with my new Sony NEX-7 camera, I stopped in Little Falls at the Mississippi River just south of the dam. The scene is here calm, with a fisherman standing part-way out into the river and a boy tossing food to the ducks. It's a deceptive calm, as I have driven by this same spot at other times, when the dam has been open and the river has been allowed to roar through this whole area (no doubt flooding the area where the rocks are showing below).
