The sky looked threatening, on September 1, 2016, as the crowd of local residents gathered around Swamp Locks in anticipation for the 7 p.m. illumination of the locks and its gatehouse on this very, very warm evening. Many of us had cameras, and I knew my simple "aim and shoot" camera probably wouldn't get very good pictures. However, when I compared my pictures with others I saw on-line, I though mine were similar and that is why I finally decided to share the only ones I took.
