This is the Alpena, in town again to unload cement.
I shot this after taking my son to school in the morning.
I am coming down with a cold, so I shot this image and
went home and slept the rest of the day.

A very good Web site on Great Lakes freighters can be seen at

Picture Post Card Perfect. Great image as usual Kenneth. I think you could make money shooting stock photography of boats. This image would make a great jig-saw puzzle, post card or calendar photo. You have an eye for these.

That bit ogf green gives you depth of shot; width of river.....................

Interesting comment on the leaves in the corner, my son said the same thing.

Takes me right back to Sarnia watching these long beauties go under the bridge while we enjoyed our fish 'n chips. You probably don't need that bit of green in the top left corner. Like the lighting you have.

This is a typical look for a Great Lakes freighter.
While most ocean going vessels have the pilot house in the rear,
it's common for these to be in the front.

Lovely photo, great composition, but a very strange shaped boat.
