[QUOTE="hark, post: 241606, member: 13196"] Last January 2013, the Trentonian (a New Jersey newspaper) posted the following photo on their Facebook page. [URL="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=523578561007147&set=a.194294640602209.46130.108200919211582&type=3&theater"][COLOR=#0000ff]Frozen Delaware River[/COLOR][/URL] It is really unusual to see that much ice on the Delaware River so I headed over to photograph it myself. There were a number of people standing on the dike/retaining wall who were photographing the river with cell phones and small digital cameras, but I went to the far side of the bridge which was the sunny side. A Port Authority Guard stopped me and said there is a Homeland Security law which prohibits photographs of bridges and other structures. He said I could stand on the retaining wall and take photos of the water but couldn't include the bridge. Grrr.... So I decided to photograph the shadow that the bridge cast onto the frozen water. ;) The shadow is the Trenton Makes Bridge from the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River. These were taken on January 26, 2013 with my D90.
