Oh my Don, I love camera goof stories. They make me feel like I am not the ONLY one out there who does this kind of stuff. The good thing about my camera is that it has slots for 2 SDS cards. So if you forget to put your card back in after you upload your photos, there is a spare already in the camera. But I am sure I could still mess that up too. Well, I am glad that you were able to capture another shot of the EOC. You sure did capture the image of the fall nicely. That is really a lot of water pouring over those cliffs. It appears that is the closest that you can get to the falls, am I correct? Are the falls used to generate power? It is a spectacular view.
I have a water view to share, but it is not moving, at least not in this photo taken with my fish eye lens.
This is the HURON Lighthouse Boat.
A little background:
Lightships are floating lighthouses that are anchored in areas where it was too deep, expensive, or impractical to construct a lighthouse. Lightships displayed a light at the top of a mast and, in areas of fog, also sounded a fog signal and radio beacon. The fog signals used over the years consisted of bells, whistles, trumpets, sirens, and horns. Early fog horns were powered by steam and later by air compressors. The HURON Lightship sounded her fog horn signal in 3 second blasts every 30 seconds and was known locally as “Old B.O.” because of the familiar sound her horn made.
The HURON Lightship was the last operating lightship on the Great Lakes and served for over 50 years when she retired in 1970. For 36 of those years, she was stationed at Corsica Shoals, a sandy area 6 miles north of Port Huron. She was permanently moored in sand, along the banks of the St. Clair River in scenic Pine Grove Park, Port Huron, MI. There is an extensive collection of artifacts, including many model ships, as well as a live camera feed of the bottom of the river, taken off a camera positioned at the bow. It was dedicated in 1990 as a National Historic Landmark.
This was the first thing we photographed when our camera club arrived in Port Huron. This ship is now moored in the sand and is a MUSEUM! For $10 you can tour the inside. We chose not to do that since not everyone wanted to go. Maybe I will go out there by myself someday and see what is inside.
