Give Me a Shove

I am going to stay with the Alexandria waterfront today. I was out again one morning and happened to see these two tug boats just on the edge of Oronoco Bay off the Potomac River. I have been down there many times but have only seen boats at this spot once. In the background, you can see the construction on the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac. Finally, I really like the two ducks in the image. I know we should strive for odd numbers in order to make an image less static, but in this case it was the 2s that mattered. Besides, you can only shoot what is in front of your lens.

I love going down to the Alexandria waterfront when the fog is thick on the Potomac in the early morning. There are always lots of things to photograph anyway down there but to me the fog adds that extra something special.

Here I was trying to convey the sense of peacefulness and quiet of the early morning.
