 Dames Point Bridge, Jacksonville, FL

A little trespassing on a home under construction got me to a broken down boat dock in the foreground with the bridge in the background. Late afternoon so the sun was bringing out the support strands and it was cloudy, so there is a little interest in the sky.

I ramped the ISO down, the aperture up and added a circular polarizer trying to put a glaze on the water.

It was only after I had downloaded the image to my computer that I noticed the cooling towers behind the bridge. They are not nuclear plants....one is coal fired and the other natural gas.
