Not the best angle for sure, but this pic shows a barge preparing to hook up with another tugboat to help guide it through the old rail swing bridge in Clinton, IA. Clinton is a location for a large ADM processing plant, making it a prime location for barge,rail, and truck traffic. There are several other grain terminals in this area of the Mississippi, including terminals in nearby Fulton and Albany,IL.

Don't you hate it when the macro photo shows up all the dust that you missed when dusting!!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
The hook as it is often called is a popular spot in South County Wexford. It was very windy when I was there and I could not get out onto rocks safely so stood well back and aimed for a break in the spray to get a shot.
The lighthouse is situated where the 3 sister rivers, Barrow, Nore and Suir flow into the sea so it was be choppy and windy.
In the living room of the house I was born in, there was a picture rail incorporated into the wall with brass hooks that hung over the top edge. I have eight of them, and find them invaluable for hooking over the top side edge of Billy bookcases, or on my door lintels, for hanging various things like wind chimes, dream catchers, etc. This one holds a pocket watch and is about two and a half inches in height.

A dawn scene from 5am this morning at the Hook Lighthouse. We made an early start to get over to the Hook for the Solstice sunrise and it was just beautiful.
The only day I had free to get out with the camera and the weather was horrible. Every other day that week was idyllic. So I just had a play at this lovely spot on the south coast of Ireland. Hopefully I can get back when the conditions are better.
Sculpted by wind, water and sun on the shores of Yellowstone Lake, this piece of driftwood reminded me of a spawning kokanee (sockeye) salmon. While Yellowstone Lake does not contain sockeye, it does support native cutthroat trout as well as an introduced population of lake trout, which are endangering the cutthroat. The National Park Service is engaged in an aggressive effort to remove lake trout from Yellowstone Lake.
…been a while since this carriage was pulled anywhere, another shot from our day at Enginuity at Ironbridge last weekend.

Hook Lighthouse is a medieval lighthouse off the south coast of County Wexford. It is thought to be one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world. When the lighthouse at Hook became fully automated in 1996, there was no longer any need for resident keepers. It was decided then to open it up to the public. The former keeper's houses now play host to the visitor centre.
The lighthouse was built in the 13th century and was a major feat of construction at that time. It has been helping sailors for roughly 800 years, apart from a short period in the 17th century when it closed.
It was William Marshal, the Earl of Pembrokeshire, who organised the building of the lighthouse. He wanted to offer his ships some navigational help as they made their way to Waterford Harbour.
