Taken during our visit to Connecticut. The sunlight seemed to be at just the right angle. Image processed with GIMP.

Quite an engineering achievement. This bridge allows shipping to enter and leave the Columbia River at Astoria. Taken with the phone as I was wandering around the waterfront; processed with GIMP.

The Oakland Bay Bridge as we entered San Francisco. The moon was out. Image processed with GIMP. More night photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Under the Golden Gate Bridge, as we sailed out. The wind was blowing very strongly. It was hard to hold the camera steady. End of a beautiful day in San Francisco. I like the heat waves made by the exhaust of the ship's engines. Image processed with GIMP.

Under the Golden Gate Bridge. The wind was blowing very strongly. These wind surfers were will out of the main shipping channel. The tide was making, as we sailed out, adding to the danger for the surfers Image processed with GIMP.

As we ply the Amazon River, insects get trapped in the air flows around the ship. In the morning, there are quite a few beetles wandering the deck. Image processed with GIMP.

Even the safety bouys are gounded by the low water of the Amazon. Normally, this one would be floating. If you look closely, you can see that there is a crew working on this ATON. Image processed with GIMP.

Arriving to fuel up our cruise ship.

The low water has stopped a lot of Amazon river traffic.

Large oil tanker, grounded in the Amazon River.

The low water has made the docks useless. We are tendering from the ship to shore. Note the tour busses parked on a floating barge.

The big container ships cannot get up the river, so the "tugs" are pushing barges loaded with containers. The fellows on this boat are having a great time, interacting with the cruise ship passengers.

Plaque identifying the boundary between Airzona and Nevada half-way across the Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge at Hoover Dam. The fence on the bridge walkway appears only as a shadow. Image processed with GIMP.

Taken quite a few years ago, during a photography class outing. We visited an area of Iao Valley that is missed by many tourists. There is a complete Japanese-style water garden deep into the valley. This bridge and native stone wall are just part of the display.

This classic railway trestle in central Pennsylvania, was abandoned by the railroad. After that, it was used for various railroad excursions, until a major storm caused most of the bridge to collapse into the valley below. This image is taken looking down from the end of the existing bridge (now a state park) at the wreckage in the valley below. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinzua_Bridge Image processed with GIMP.

Taken in Falls Park, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. There is a train trestle over the river, right at the park location. BNSF tracks, but the train is D&I. Image processed with GIMP.
