New Mississippi River Bridge
We drove into Baton Rouge today and had dinner at the Melting Pot - good fondue. While Carlee was in her study group I managed to get lost in Catfish Town and took this picture of the Horace Wilkinson Bridge (popularly known as the New Mississippi River Bridge). The bridge was built from 1963-1968 and crosses the Mississippi River just south of downtown Baton Rouge. I-10 is the highway it carries, 6 lanes, 4,550 feet long, $41M to build and about 167 feet high over the water.

That's a great shot. What were your settings?
I copied these off the file properties. Basically I had it on manual shutter speed, was stepping in some sort of mud and was nervous about being mugged.
