The catch is about water level, I think. Water is now in the river bed. When the level is higher water is between banks and boat can float to above the river bed. When the water level fall down to normal, boat is on it's way.

Brent is right, our barges are quite different. I've several shots of them in the river. I think this looks so huge because it is out of water and we usually only see the top half of these boats/barges. I like that you took this photo up the tie line. I'm just wondering how on earth they got it out on the land and how they will ever pull it back into the water again!

Thanks. Yes I was an early bird. Planed this shot since springtime, LoL. Few more shots in this series, but I think this looks the best.

lovely subdued tones in this, looks like you had an early morning start to catch this one.
My favourite time of day, but I rarely make it.

Brent, same here with those barges. I think they will not use them any more (bad condition). They are three of them on the meadow right now. Thanks for the comment.

Very emotive of the sea with the cyan sky and tint. The boat line and the path really pull you into the shot.

On our rivers the barges are put end to end and lashed together - sometimes as many as 7 at a time. The ends are flat on ours. They then use a tug boat to push them.

Thanks for this Miro - brent

Thanks for the comment and you are right. The tree is big and the boat too (100ft I think). Exposure metering from the sky.

Miro, looks like the shadows were brought out quite a bit. Like the rope coming from the camera, and the sunset in the background. Looks like quite a big tree next to the boat. Cheers.

I think the type is barge. It's a river cargo ship without engine.

Very strange shot ! The boat looks quite big... What is it ?
