Gallivanting to Troy

As we progress toward winter as well, the daylight hours shorten, making less to photograph, but I was happy we passed lock E8 in daylight to capture the crane GE uses to transship large cargos, like the rotor of a few weeks ago.

The changing leaves complement the colors of the vintage floating plant,

locks,

and even Thruway vessels.

Venerable Frances is a tug for all seasons as is

the Eriemax freighter built in Duluth,

both based near the city of the original Uncle Sam, which splashes its wall

 

with additional color and info.

Once this Eriemax passenger vessel raises its pilot house, we’ll continue our way to the sixth boro.

Will Van Dorp took all these photos in about a 12 hour period.
