A Last Look at the Erie Canal


Approaching a lock at dawn.


Dan ties up along a lock wall before the sluices are opened.


Lock licking is an important ritual when going through the Erie Canal. It's everything you'd imagine it to be.


The canal was last widened in 1918. Most of the equipment used today, including this tugboat, is from that era.


Sunset.
