American Countess, Part 2

There's an unwritten rule that says if you own a camera and a big passenger boat is in your neighborhood, you must get a photo and share it online. Yesterday the American Countess was in the Huntington WV area, so I did my part to avoid coming down with the burning ague (King James language for an illness with a bad fever). Here is where I caught it having passed Greenup KY on its way down the river.

A few minutes before, the M/V Charles T. Jones came by pushing a few barges. I lucked out in that the two boats passed port to port, allowing me to get a photo with the barges between me and the American Countess. It was a different view.

I took these photos while holding an umbrella in my left hand and bracing the lens against it. It'snot easy getting sharp images while keeping your electronics from getting wet. Plus it was close to getting dark.

In case you're wondering where Part 1 is, I'm writing that one second. I wanted to post Part 2 first because I liked the images better.
