Twyla Luhr Heading Down River

Yesterday, we went by the overlook to see if there was a barge going up or down the river.  Sure enough, here comes, Twyla Luhr, with her big load coming through Vicksburg headed for a destination down south.  It amazes me how these barges can make a turn in the Mississippi River coming so close to the banks near Diamond Jacks Casino.   I know they have plenty of room but from an overlook or in the parking lot at the Casino they look so close. Vicksburg is located in the crook of the state on the west side and it's an awesome site to watch them come though my hometown.  As I write this post, I can hear the hum of the tugboats on the river. Below are several pictures I took and you can see for yourself what a big load she was pushing.

Got this shot of a Sparrow on a decayed tree limb.

Zoomed in and got Twyla Luhr passing by.  Note man in front doorway and another man standing on a step stool doing a repair.  (Click on picture to get a closer look)

Heading down south towards New Orleans!
