Return to Four Rivers Travelogue

Following are links to photographs that were taken during a September - October 2007 voyage along four of Europe's famous rivers.   These pictures have been selected from over 1,000 photos that were taken during this excursion and have been chosen primarily for their interest rather than for their photographic elegance. Except where noted otherwise, all photos were taken by either Jacquie or Don Sorby.
