Low Bridge! Everybody Down!

Hurricane Sandy (or her remnants) dropped a lot of rain in our area.
There was enough of a flooding concern that the Erie Canal floodgates
were lowered (I've never seen this happen before but I've only lived
next to the canal for the last 6 years.)

Picture of floodgates in up position:

Submitted for the WEEKLY INFORMAL CHALLENGE 133: "Photojournalism"

This is a song that all of us here near the canal learned as schoolchildren:

Canon Powershot G11
1/800s f/4.0 at 6.1mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I hate boating under those bridges. :) Love the song, I can see my toes hanging from the boat side.

Good find and glad the canal wall was lowered.

Definitely photojournalism and very good captures of the bridge. V.

Hope you got through the storm with no damage to your property. It certainly looked to have been a vicious storm.

Well seen and captured for the challenge.

I'm glad to see that you are alright and that you figured out how to get it to post

Wow, it's been a helluva storm! Interesting photojournalism entry, Brenda! Nice work! Stay safe!

a different situation for the gates to be down.. well done

Nice shoot. I've never seen them done before either.

Good find

Beautiful job and it is the first I've ever seen them down but I bet they were down when the wall blew out of the canal between there and Bushnell Basin a few years back.
