When we go to Door County, I always drag Kate to a fish boil. They boil whitefish, potatos, onions, and some other stuff over the fire, then force it to boil over with a final dose of kerosene applied to the fire. Serve with cherry pie and you got yourself a meal.

Technical information: these shots looked crappy in color. Mid day with a blue sky, blue water, and hazy hot weather made a formula for photographic ickiness. But in black and white, they look OK.

This bridge crosses the Allegheny River northeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I've seen it several times as I've driven on the parallel PA Turnpike. And every time I've passed it, I've thought to myself that the setting was cool, and the bridge was very cool. I've finally had a chance photograph it.
My seminar swing in Pennsylvania finished on Friday in Harrisburg and I was driving back to Chicago. But that's a long drive in one shot, so I knew I'd have to overnight someplace. Since there was an Holiday Inn Express (one of my favorite hotels) right at the Turnpike exit for this bridge, I thought I'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the weather had been predicted to be cloudy and rainy for Saturday. So I wasn't holding out much hope for something interesting.
But in the morning, I lucked out. Just a touch of sunlight came out for a few minutes. However, to me this isn't the best shot. It doesn't show how grand the river valley is. But it was about the best perspective I could get short of a boat or doing some really serious trespassing. As it was, I did pass through an open gate in a fenced-in area to get this angle, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
I think a helicopter would be the next step to getting this bridge done right.
