Keith Baker, Great Lakes Sailor aboard the Cason J. Callaway was guiding the freighter through the Soo Locks recently, at night. The lights around the locks at dusk and in the dark sure make a beautiful scene.
Keith's first photo is the Soo skyline, showing the Tower of History lit up and the Coast Guard Base. Then the second shot is the Callaway approaching the outer end of the east middle pier with the lights reflecting in the water, doubling the evening effect.
The last three photos were while the Callaway was waiting for their turn to go through the locks, with the bottom shot getting underway on their turn through. If you're already a boat nerd, I'm sure you're loving these photos and if you aren't one yet, I'm betting the beauty of the lights at night is going to make you fall in love with these fascinating Great Lakes Boats.
Thanks for taking us on a night ride, Keith!

Cool pics, makes me think a night trip to the Soo might be on our list for this Septembers trip.

I guess at this hour one does not get an early bird, even if he is first.

Gorgeous photos, Keith. Makes me wish I were returning to Toronto tomorrow via the Soo rather than Port Huron, but I need to bring my father back to the suburbs of Detroit first. Thanks for sharing those fabulous night shots.

These are terrific shots! How I wish I could find the time to spend more time there than just a few hours. Maybe some day. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

Neat pics...I like the digital speedo in the last shot, but isn't that a no-wake zone?
