American Countess, Part 1

 The American Countess arrived at Huntington WV around 10:30 a.m. yesterday and departed downbound around 5 p.m. -- during a mild rain that came and went. That made photography a bit difficult, as most digital cameras don't like rain. Mine is weather-resistant, but I don't interpret that to mean waterproof. Nevertheless, I got some photos in the rain.

First, the boat going under the Ashland KY bridges.

Then under the bridge connecting Ironton OH and Russell KY.

And last, this one as seen from Russell with Ironton in the background.

When I figured the boat was moving about 10 miles per hour and it would reach Greenup KY in less than an hour, I figured why not? Thus Part 2.
