Nice shots pawpaw - not sure how I feel about the urban backgrounds in a couple, but you got a good eye for nice pics!

Thanks...we still have houses in the New Orleans area but don't live there. I really like the zoom lens capability of my Canon SX50 for taking long distance photos.

Nothing personal, just not a city person at all, never was. Canons are good cameras. I need to get familiar with my recently gifted Olympus camera that seems nice, and try it out. But after the amount of pics my old Samsung D760 has taken for me as well as accidental abuse, I'm keeping that till it stops being usable. Tough camera and still takes nice pics.

Going over that bridge always gives me the creeps! Can't think of one that shakes more anywhere in the country!

Long bridge before its billion dollar re-building job. It's real nice now and doesn't shake anymore. The original span was opened in the 1930's for the railroad and still is stronger then most newer bridges. The previous roadways were designed to move and shake and were added to the railway span as an afterthought. With the narrow lanes it was used for driver training to see how your nerves could handle it!!
Is the Huey the one south of the Ponchartrain (sp?) bridge? |
