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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Image processed with GIMP.
