I agree with evlahos -- another beautiful night photo.

Also, I have to mention how much I like the photo on your header, too.

Awesome. I have to say that after trying to take a night shot recently I admire your skill even more than before. I had my tripod and I set a long shutter speed,, yet all I got was black.

You know I love that golden wash of color!

Now that's what you call a lock. A golden lock.

Hard to imagine on the Mississippi, they are so tall.

Beautiful shot and believe it or not, I've "locked thru" this lock and dam. I use to work as a deckhand on the Delta Queen Steamboat. Locking thru at night as the boat slides inches away from the lock wall, was very scary stuff. You definitely didn't want to get caught between the boat and the wall as you held your bumpers (shock absorbers).
