Seaway Traffic (LEA ATK, ALGOSEA, ALGOMA STRONGFIELD)

Sunrise over the river... Each one is different.



A Cormorant, holding his pose to "impress" females.

First ship was just visible upbound on the horizon.

It arrived in 30 minutes.
The vessel was LEA ATK, a chemical tanker from Turkey.

Wish I had a better shot of the Turkish flag.

Got to see ALGOSEA during daylight hours. Was enjoyable to see her at night on a previous trip.

Spotted the ALGOMA STRONGFIELD right before she disappeared behind (Bradford) Islands...

Forty minutes later, she was within photographing range. Seems to hold true that it's about 45 minutes from first spotting them on the horizon.

Color turned out OK, timestamped between 5-6pm. Ideal color seems to be between 4-5pm, this time of year... 3 hours before sunset. Of course, that's on the water. Photography golden hour is apparently within the last 30-45 minutes before sunset.
