I’ll call this lame Tuesday as today’s post has less to do about photography then it does weather conditions.   The image above is reflective of what the conditions were like on Sunday when I attempted to capture some eagle images.

My friend Burt from Le Claire wrote me saying that he actually thought about going out Sunday to shoot as well.  He thought about it for 3 seconds and decided  to not go. 🙂

We were driving around looking for a better place to shoot and came across these guys.  They said they were not having much luck catching anything but it was obvious they were enjoying themselves.  Considering the football play offs were on TV you would think they would have more fun in a warm house watching the games.  I guess we all have our passions to pursue. 🙂

I’ll leave you with an image of the lock and dam that I have never seen before.  It is from the Wisconsin side of the river.  I have only seen the lock from the Iowa side.  From a purely photographic standpoint I like this image.  I tried it in black and white but I like the color of the locking mechanisms contrasted with  the gray structure of the dam and the weather elements.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your Tuesday and be careful.
