Industrial Waterway

I've been posting lots of rural pictures lately so I figured I'd mix it up with a dingy, smog filled, watery city scence. *I should add that it was really a beautiful day when I took this, but I'm tryng to create a dreary mood for this photo.

    Nice. It does have a gray look to it doesn't it. Could be my mindset recently but looks almost wintery.:)

    I love the business of the waterway. A very cool picture.

    You have a lot of barges going up and down that river. Busy like ants, I like that even if it´s dingy like you say.

    I think Carl Sandburg would have written a 'Chicago'-type poem for this photo. Good one!!!

    Love the procession of boats (barges?) slowly coming and going along the river. Perfectly framed by the bridge, great atmosphere.

    I like this. It is real and gives perspective and balance to the other reality represented by clean, bright, rural images.

    Your description is so apt! Gives one an insight of a busy harbor for sure.

    Intriguing shot of the ships, James. It reminds me of old photos I've seen of Navy ships headed out to sea.

    Hi James
    I like this shot for the reasons you said.... nice to see some of the rougher sights. I was walking today by a local canal where an old cotton mill is being demolished... I will show the pictures at sometime I'm sure.

    The "trying" proved to be a perfect one! Love the glitter of the water and the scene reminds me of Long Beach.
    Great wide angle shot!
