In 1912 Union Pacific replaced the original Steel Bridge at the cost of 1.2 million dollars with this bridge. Today's replacement cost would be in the neighborhood of 47 million dollars. This bridge is the only known double life bridge in the world. Lower deck is for train traffic. the upper deck is for cars, pedestrian and light rail. The bridge crosses the Willamette River which connects east and west Portland.

You are too funny. I had a senior moment. "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity". :)

It is superb. One of the proposed cut back items is to cut out fly by's. I am bummed out.
Yes, as of April 1st The Blue Angels will cancel a number of their shows due to budget cuts. They were scheduled to perform here outside of PDX this coming summer. They are a huge draw. By them not being here will hurt the gate. What a shame.

Lagano (22) said he was going to go talk to Smoke after the race. I think he should stay as far away from him as possible. Stewart in a interview after the race basically said he wanted to tear Joey Boy a new one. Love it!

Please do not tell me that you are a Whiner Schrub fan.
No...can't stand the guy. Or his brother for that matter. It must have been that Las Vegas water they drank while growing up. I like the old guys like Mark Martin, Smoke and even jumped on the Jr. bandwagon the past couple of years. It just happened that his pit was in front of us.

A fly-by of F-18 jets overhead, the national anthem being sung and looking at this in front of you.....how could you not feel good?

Daytona International Speedway...This was the Coke 400. My wife and I were two of 165,000 fans. If this doesn't get your heart pumping I don't know what will.

These pictures were taken at the Garden Of Glass museum in Seattle, Washington.

Hi,
Taking photographs inside museums can be a challenge. Due to extreme lighting changes. These are the settings I used for the the glass boat and Space Needle. Look at the extreme changes in settings. It definitely is not a one size fits all. I like you am relatively new to photography. I just practice and take lots of notes. With these I took what I thought would be a average stetting and adjusted accordingly. I think I took six pictures of the boat before I got one I liked. This also may sound a little crazy but I seem to take better pictures when I am by myself. I don't feel as rushed and can take my time. Good luck.

I am a rookie. Just received the camera (as a retirement gift... a Canon 6d) the first part of this year. It is enough to figure all of the bells and whistle on the camera let alone Photoshop. One step at a time. I do appreciate your help though. I feel like I'm back in school. That was a life time ago.

This is going to drive me drink. How do I correct the keystone effect. Truthfully, I am having a ball doing this. I have lots to learn but I'll get.
Again, thank you everyone for your help.
