This is a shot showing 3 (actually you can make out a bit of the fourth) of the 6 beer fermentation tanks as they sit on the Hamilton Ontario docks ready to begin what had been originally planned as a 4 -day convoy by tractor-trailer move to the Molson Coors facility in Toronto, Ontario, some 108 km (about 65 miles) away. This was taken from the publicly accessible border of the docks area on the Southwest of the facility. The whole area was illuminated by some serious lighting set up for the occasion and fortunately, made photography much easier. One result of the scale of the tanks and the convoy in conjunction with the dramatic lighting was to give the whole area the appearance of a number of rocket boosters being prepared for launch rather than the more mundane reality.
For a further description of the tanks and the event, see my other photos posted here.
The ship in the backgound is the Algolake, a Great Lakes cargo vessel not related to the move.

Shooting Info: While posted across a street bordering the docks area, the image was taken with a tripod mounted Nikon D5000 (ISO400, f/5.6, 1/3 sec, aperture preferred mode with a EV-2/3 bias to compensate for general nighttime darkness), 55-200mm VR kit lense at 165mm, processed with GIMP (very minimal - sharpen, add border and scale to 1024 wide for posting).
