Nice collection of shots, BB! Too bad about the power lines in this scene. That bridge has a lot of potential:

Thanks!

There is some good potential with the bridge and it looks good from a kayak. I left the power lines in this time. All you hear there is buzzing. Messed with the IS on the 70-300mm lens one time, wouldn't turn off until I turned it off.
