Vacation/Unity




The tugboat is pushing a massive block of 48 barges upstream on the Mississippi. It is about to negotiate a hairpin curve in the river. The captain of the tugboat somehow achieved a sense of unity with the barges, nursing them around the bend. It was an awesome thing to watch.

  1. I am enjoying your vacation photos. This is a beautiful image of the Mighty Mississippi. I read a very inspirational book recently about a canoe trip down the Mississippi by Gary Hoffman. Here is a link to his story: http://www.weeklynews.com/main.asp?SectionID=10&SubSectionID=10&ArticleID=6980
