I seem to always be chasing something… interesting. Today it was a tug boat pushing a barge, fun series of photos and so am posting one of the first.

Honey Horn Plantation, Hilton Head Island, SC – Tree Study No. 2
The Live Oaks on Hilton Head Island are magnificent, but very hard to photograph because of their size. I am experimenting with a semi – fisheye lens on a infrared camera body.

A Floating Train Down the Intracoastal
As I left the dock a few days ago, I was amazed to see not one, but two floating train like tows coming down the Intracoastal Waterway. The first was a tug pulling a large dredge and its support materials and the second was another tug pulling the dredge’s pipe. Along with the tugs pulling were smaller push boats helping the lengthy tows around the winding channel.

Sad Fate For A Boat
I have photographed the two shrimp boats that ran aground in Jarvis Creek on Hilton Head Island several times. They could not be salvaged and are now being broken up and hauled away. The Lady Essie was already gone when I made one more trip up the creek to photograph the Dianie. Even with fairly high water, I almost ran aground in this tricky channel, and I only need about two feet to stay afloat. I was however able to get fairly close to the boat. It is a sad sight, the loss of a shrimp boat and the demise of someone’s livelihood.

The End For Now… – Photo For November 30
I have been posting a photo for everyday here for six months. It has been enjoyable and a way to keep up somewhat with my photo editing. However, I have been overtaken with some other fun projects and have decided to reallocate my time. I will be updating the blog here on a more irregular basis to provide information on my latest projects.
Like boating… John Van Horn
Leaving This Daily Project… For Now
