Everyone needs a guide in their life at some point, to help them through the tough times. The Charleston Harbor Pilot is just that sort of guide, helping large container ships maneuver through narrow channels, safely into port.

    I like the way you have given the image depth by using the pier posts and DOF in the foreground. Top shot Doug.

    Please can you send that cute little boat over here - Ireland needs all the guidance it can get - or adopt us as the 51st state (we're closer than Hawaii)in which case you'll only need a small gunboat!
