Rivière-du-Loup -1

Up to 1 meter of silt is deposited each year at the Rivière-du-Loup marina and without dredging the marina and its entrance boats cannot leave the marina at low tide, the municipality would like to set up a permanent hydraulic dredging system but environmental concerns about the murkiness caused by the system are forcing the marina to keep it old school with a dredging barge.

 

This sunset scene was captured at the end of the marina and the dredging barge became part of the shot instead of something I had to shoot around.

 

I have traveled many times past Rivière-du-Loup on my way traveling the 1100km journey to visit New Brunswick but had never stopped or taken in a sunset there, travel in the time of Covid forces one to stop and take advantage of whatever safe activities are possible.

 

I took this on Sept 20th, 2020 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 98mm 1/100 sec f/8 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO
