Some Pure Michigan imagery from last July at Point Betsie north of Frankfort. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q287/BB_Michigan/Great%20Lakes/IMG_9504.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q287/BB_Michigan/Great%20Lakes/IMG_9514.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q287/BB_Michigan/Great%20Lake...

Might have looked even crazier since the article says a large portion of his body was thrown.

Video from Frankfort of the ferries.

Friday night Dec. 9th around 6pm all the big work lights and equipment were in place at the diamonds. Here is the link to the full album: Cool pictures of Chicago especially at night during the holiday. Interesting there's a phone hanging in the hotel bathroom. I just stayed in a room that had a cor...

Creative picture. haha

Great night pictures Steven, it looks like you know what you're doing with the camera in the dark.

Great picture J T, can't recall seeing this one before. Which location is that?

AARR must be too used to typing this...

Those are some cool pictures. I like the first and fourth.

Thanks!

There is some good potential with the bridge and it looks good from a kayak. I left the power lines in this time. All you hear there is buzzing. Messed with the IS on the 70-300mm lens one time, wouldn't turn off until I turned it off.

Here's a couple of sad images... http://www.boatnerd.com/news/newsthumbsb/images-11-4/Maumee-12-1-11-ST.jpg http://www.boatnerd.com/news/newsthumbsb/images-11-4/1-MAUMEE-12-1-11-PM.jpg 12/2 - With the tug Illinois on the bow and the tug Iowa on the stern, the retired laker Maumee began her trip to t...

Cold air and hot engine water going over the side of the hull.

Brandon, I almost put your name in the thread title because I knew this would interest you. Apparently they will be pulling this out of Saugatuck in mid-October and I plan on being there to document it...and maybe even "chase" it up the coast. :lol: Keep your eyes and ears open as it will be coming...

Pere Marquette(?) through South Chicago yesterday.

Very interesting videos Crow, thanks for posting.

Nice ones. It's in a neat location in the lake. This year is the first I've seen it up close other then from I-196. There's another former Canadian ferry in Lake Michigan, the MV Abegweit which is now the Columbia Yacht Club in Chicago, was owned by CN. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Abegweit_%2819...

Like that first picture and the power on there.

That third picture is nicely framed and you found a good spot in the last picture. Great pictures.

Here's a runaway grain hopper car meeting a tied-down and unattended train. A grain facility was pushing the car with a front end loader and it got away from them. Happened in Nebraska. That's what I've gathered from a thread in another forum.
