Philadelphia/NewJersey pics (56K warn)

Corry · Nov 23, 2004

Here's a few pics from my road trip. Wish I had more, but we had to shorten our trip considerably at the last minute. I'll probably have a few more later, but this is it for now.

One of the tunnels we went through in Pennsylvania

The Benjamin Franklin Bridge

My boyfriend taking a picture of the Battleship New Jersey, from the Philadelphia shore.

One of the ships docked outside our hotel room..Erik was using the tripod, so I did this handheld, and I think it was just under a second...can't remember exactly.

Nighttime view outside our hotel room

The next three are the view outside our room as the sun came up

The USS NewJersey

The ship is all powered up, and they told us to be careful not to touch anything, because everything DOES work. They said that just last week someone pressed a button which prepared the Tomahawk missile to fire!!!! :shock: They have to have a tomahawk specialist come out and put the missile back down into the barrell. Here are a couple shots...the big metal box in the background is how the missille thingy is supposed to be.

Looks like the new camera worked out pretty good for you. I like the series and it's good to have you back.

Thanks Nytmair! I'm used to flat rural farmland, so this was pretty awesome to wake up to!

Nice, favorites are #6 with the old battleships in the foreground & USS NJ across the harbor. And #13 of small barrels on the USS NJ

Nice series Corry. #5 and 1 are my fav. The third one from last is crisp.

Nice work and I really like the colors in the second one.

Wow!

You got a lot in for such a short period of time. How are you liking that new cam?? :wink:

I think the three from the window are the ones I like best. Very sharp and great looking scenes. The nighttime shot from the hotel is also very good.

I'd say for the "maiden voyage" you did great! :cheer:

Thanks, Terri! I love the new cam! I do hope we get a chance to go back and see the historic sights, though! Unfortunately, though, fate intervened and cut our trip short
