Mackinac Bridge Reflections

We've been over the bridge a lot this year, lots of shows downstate, and most recently went to see family in Cincinnati and do a show over Thanksgiving. Off topic, a long long time ago, I lived in Cincinnati back in the Big Red Machine days, and never really explored the Kentucky side at all. This trip, we spent a lot of time in Covington KY and had a great time, amazed at the mansions along the river, equally amazed at the view from Covington of the two new stadiums in Cincy. Had a great burger and Guiness at Molly Malone's btw ;)

This image is from one of those crossings over the Mackinac Bridge, it was an extremely calm night, calm that didn't last long. If you look closely, you can see ripples in the water that happened part way through the timed exposure adding another dimension to the image. A few minutes later, these reflections of light were gone due to water chop. Now I just need to get back there for a calm day with the "Christmas Lights" on the bridge,,, suprised the ACLU hasn't complained about this.....but then again maybe it's not Christmas Lights but simply a change of light color for a change of pace....? It sure was nice in visiting some of the small Ohio towns on our last trip to see the 10 commandments displayed in front of several courthouses. Only a matter of time I guess before controversy ensues in this day and age of America.....
