Christmas Canoe Ride and Photo Expedition

In the afternoon this past Christmas, after all the activity of the morning was over, I asked my brother, Jordan, and my wife, Melaina, if they wanted to go with me in the canoe to take some pictures of the dam at Starke Park in Seguin. It's not a long trip and it wasn't bitter cold, but they did not want to go. I thought I was out of luck, but then my dad, who had been asleep in his recliner opened his eyes and said he would go. My sister, Julie, also decided to come along.

Here is our little adventure:


This is a small island/rock bar in the Guadalupe River near the dam. We docked here so I could set up and take a few pics of the dam. 


Here are dad and Julie on the penstock deck of the old hydro plant. A better view of the entire structure is coming up. The little pile of rocks out there is where we docked in the previous shot.





My next goal is to get some similar shots, but at sunrise instead of sunset. That will be a bigger recruiting challenge.
