Last Friday, I went out with an ex-girlfriend of mine to get pictures of the Potomac River & C&O Canal at flood stage. (Oh, these are too large for actuall attachments, so I'll post links to the pics on Photobucket.) The results:
The canal, with one of the locks closed:

And a (closed) observation deck, with the waters nearly up to the edge:

And in the calmer waters of the canal, some ducks:
