On the way home from Florida, we stopped off in Mobile, Alabama and visited the battleship, submarine, etc. (for some reason I did not take photos at that time). The next morning we got up very early in the morning to head back home and I snapped several views from our motel parking lot of the Alabama silhouetted against the dawn sky.

I had a quite a fight with my scanner to convince it not to "color correct" the purple sky and low light. I may have another go at a couple of horizontal versions of this shot if I can figure out a way to get the scanner to leave the color alone.

I tried to clone out some ugly power lines that crossed the photo, but I think I just made an uglier mess around the ship. I will make another attempt when I have more time.
