Buckeye haze

Oh, it was hazy today. I was at least two miles away as the mv. Buckeye State was making a tow at Gallipolis, Ohio. It was at the limit of my camera equipment, but I could see the boat from where I was, despite the haze.

A barn

Today on a trip down Ohio Route 7 along the Ohio River, I stopped at the cemetery where my father is buried. As I was leaving, I saw this barn in the late afternoon light. I like barns.

Markland Locks and Dam

I didn't have much time to spend here at the Markland Locks and Dam. I kind of wish I had, but I had a lot of miles to go, and I was kind of tired from spending most of the day in the sun with a camera bag on my left shoulder.

The Markland Locks and Dam was the first of two on the Ohio River to have a bridge across it. And I believe it was the second to have a hydroelectric power plant built on one end. It's the only dam between Louisville and Cincinnati.
