It's not the Golden Gate...

But we sure like it! This is the Perrine Bridge built in 1978. It's 1500 ft long and about 500 ft off the river. I believe *don't shoot if I'm wrong* that this is the only place where a person can BASE jump legally, year round. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics yet of the jumpers - it was chilly yesterday, but I promise to get some this summer.

    Love #3... I just wish you had a few scattered clouds to let the sky stand out.

    peace.

    Thanks everyone. In case you were wondering - the first pic was taken last summer and the second two were done yesterday, that's why the river is different colors. I have no clue why it's running so green now.ne_nau.gif

    The first one could benefit from you setting the black point.

    Love the third one. The monochrome treatment really, to me, gives it a sense of timelessness (did I spell it rightne_nau.gif ).

    Anyway, really like it.

    That's a great looking bridge. I'd be tempted to do silly things to get a good angle.

    Moto, you haven't out your camera gear in your profile, so I don't know what gear you're using. But if you can, try using a circular polarizer to get some color into that sky.

    I just have a Canon A610, and I am looking for some kind of polarized lens for it (I'm sure I'm VERY limited lol3.gif), but the sky the other day was just plain old white. We do have some couds out there today, maybe I'll run out and see what I can get.
