About the Image(s)

The story:
We were camping in Alabama and took an overnight trip to visit our daughter who was living in New Orleans. She recommended that we HAD to experience the Natchez Steamboat on the Mississippi River. Being a huge Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain fan, I couldn't resist! We had a lovely dinner
then were able to wander the ship - including the fascinating engine room. As sunset approached, I found a great spot near the stern paddle wheel to capture this (and several other!) images.

What a nice image. A very well composed image with great leading lines. I think having the horizon in the middle of the frame gives a nice balance between the sy and the river boat. A very nice capture.
Best regards,
