Some shots from my visit to Jacksonville two weeks before they host the Super Bowl.

The second one is fantastic. Are you going to the game?

Nice shots! I really like the fountain.
And that's a pretty neat bridge. Is that an inter-coastal waterway that it crosses?

Thanks, guys. The bridge is one of about seven in Jacksonville that cross the St Johns River (which intersects with the Intra-coastal Waterway about 15 miles east of town). All the steel bridges are painted different colors, and all the bridges have lighting. It's a neat effect. I'd like to attend the Super Bowl, but no such luck.

The fountain is 200 feet in diameter, and the spray will go up to 100 feet. However, there is a system of regulating the height due to wind. It was a windy night when we were there, so the fountain didn't go very high.

The blue bridge is my favorite. Great work. Gotta get a Rebel one of these days. Reigh
