That's really cool! In the 1980s I drove a tour bus with the Dubuque Fighting Saints hockey team to Thunder Bay. What a great name for an Ontario town!

Thanks to everyone . Thunder Bay is well named with many Thunder Storms rolling through , It is one of the Largest Shipping Ports in Canada ;2500 kms from the nearest Ocean, I do a lot of Seaway photos and they become drearey after a few thousand so I look for anything to embellish them. This photo gets the adrenaline going as well ;you have to briefly stop on the top of a very busy bridge where there is no pullover lane in the right position at the right time with the right camera settings without being pushed over the edge by a 10,000 gal Tanker Truck going about it's business. Maybe worth it as the unwrapped version is pretty blah !

After doing thousands of Seaway Photos I look for something (ANYTHING) to Jazz them up , I don't like the straight shot unless its absoulutely necessary to get the picture. I use plants, birds, vegetation, Sculpture , reflections , night shots , moons , lightening , rainbows ,etc to liven up a dreary Industrial scene if possible.
