We were further along our early morning walk (2017, 10-17) between Winfield & Foley Missouri along the Mississippi when this smaller tug and only 2 barges attached went by. He's heading south down toward the Lock & Dam 25.

Hope you have enjoyed the view and thanks in advance for your comments.

Have a fabulous weekend, ♥ Skates ♥

Those are two very long barges that the tug is pushing. Nice capture wiih the blue water and the green shore.

That river is full of history and very valuable to our nations commerce. Lots of things are shipped up and down that river. I wonder what is being hauled on these barges. Maybe some mineral ore, or some agricultural stuff. Great shot Pat and I hope your journey is pleasant and informative.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

Your pano treatment is just the right style to use here, Pat, giving the perfect emphasis to the barges and shoreline. I notice the buoy near the middle of the photo, helping guide the barge past underwater hazards.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Pat, this is a view of specialized barge traffic with a wonderful background that can seen on the rivers in my country as well, with one exception however: the wonderful fall colors of the trees along this mighty river can't be seen. They give your image a very special touch.
Well done per usual!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
