Did you discuss "hazard pay"?

All great, but I love the covered bridge!

It's the McConnell’s Mill Covered Bridge in western PA, about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh (30 miles north of me). Number 80003544 in the US National Register of Historic Places and is the longest of only 4 remaining Howe Truss bridges in Pennsylvania.

Some Info
Info and summer photos

These are stunning... and chilling. Beautiful and serene though.

Love the light trails in the London picture... Did you use a tripod and a long exposure for it?

Prague at night is so dramatic. I MUST get there this year. Period.

Thanks. I must have shot a few hundred shots/variatons during a short stroll along the Tiber that evening. One of the shots is here:

And the rest are still on my card, waiting their turn

I did not have a tripod so I used the bridge handrail. I put the camera in a lens hood to hold it. The exposure was 5 sec.

Thought it must be a bridge of some "significance". At first, my brain was searching all over Vermont. Thanks. It is a beauty!

Recently, I think all FT fotogs have elevated the intensity of posting in this thread. The quality has gone way up. Keep it coming, y'all. ^

I love the dusk picture of the Grand Place. Ah, so many beautiful memories of Brussels. Also, great picture of Notre Dame... I've always had difficulty capturing the beauty of it, because of the lack of lighting.

Wish I had seen these before the cheap US Airways flight to BRU over Memorial Day disappeared.
