A view from the city park lagoon of the downtown skyline.
Located on the Missouri River near the heart of the country's geographic center, Omaha is the hub of a fast-growing metro area that includes over a million people.
Today, Omaha is the home to five Fortune 500 companies: ConAgra Foods, Union Pacific Corporation, Mutual of Omaha, Peter Kiewit and Sons, Inc., and Berkshire Hathaway.[5] Berkshire Hathaway is headed by local investor Warren Buffett, who was the richest person in the world, in 2008, according to Forbes in 2008.[6] Omaha is also the home to four Fortune 1000 headquarters, TD Ameritrade, West Corporation, Valmont Industries, and Werner Enterprises. First National Bank of Omaha is the largest privately held bank in the United States. Headquarters for the Leo A. Daly Co., HDR, Inc. and DLR Group, three of the US's top 30 architectural and engineering firms, are located in Omaha. The modern economy of Omaha is diverse and built on skilled knowledge jobs. In 2009, Forbes identified Omaha as the nation's number one "Best Bang-For-The Buck City" and number one on "America's Fastest-Recovering Cities" list.

Well chosen subject for O Day.
Been to Nebraska several times. I've always been impressed with how much Nebraskans honor their early history. The fact that the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled through Nebraska (much of the route followed by interstate 80) always made the trips so thrilling.
Lookin' gOOd there! Beautiful phOtO!
Very nice image, Raf. I love the stillness of it. MB
