Yeah this picture was originally done from a picture I took down on the docks. It's actually a boat ramp but there are piers there. It's a place where I like to go sit when I need some time to myself...a little noisy b/c of that grating Pakled talked about...but a cool place nonetheless. It's cool because there really is so much to check out down there...the shops, the lonnnnng deck they call 'Riverwalk' I believe...very cool, it stretches from one side of downtown to the other. Some great shops and restaurants down there, one of my favorite features is the old boat building docks across the river from downtown, still standing after over 100 years. You can see the old tugboat that was left there after the 1890s, etc. I want to see about getting close to it for a picture but I don't think I'll be able to get to it through the woods on the other side of the river...I'll have to research it though. It's just a fun place to be. As for the bridge, I really don't know what it is, but I get so pumped up when I drive over it...hahaha...I keep telling myself it's just a bridge, but as far as I know there aren't too many lift bridges left in the world so that makes it special. I missed the chance of seeing it raised last week when the Nautical Fest came to town...oh well, one of these days I'll finally get to see it up. MD
