That is a nice picture. It almost looks like you're in the river!

Thanks yall! Much appreciated! Here's one set a little further back...wondering which one to Post in Southern Photo's of the Day?? More water or more buildings in the background??

Like how the new II City Plaza & new Courthouse fill-in that gap to the right of the Old Capitol!! Just adding the 4/5 level parking deck under the office tower for II City Plaza would have made a bigger impact on the skyline!

Neat pic! Your camera must be really good to catch the image of the wings like that.

Thanks! Just wish I had Zoom-lense like LT; and take night-time pics too...

The Old State Capitol and Shaw Center for the Arts side-by-side sure boast a unique architectual contrast!

Here's some pics of my favorite attraction in Baton Rouge, the Louisiana Natural History Museum. It's not that big, but there's still a lot of neat stuff in there.

The Hall of Louisiana Birds

Here's a pics of birds that I found especially beautiful.

Here's a diorama of a virgin forest. My favorite animal are horses,so I'm partial to anything similar. And the pair of a male and female sorta incites a romantic and whimsical feeling.

This polar bear is scary. It's huge and looks like it's about to leap through the glass.

This moose head is huge. They have a lot of busts like this of different animals.

I love egrets. There movements are so deliberate and graceful. I really think that Louisiana's society related shortcomings are made up for in it's natural beauty.

I love squirrels too. There antics are funny to watch and they're so cute. ~hehe, you can kinda see my reflection in the glass~

Great photo, Seems like this is a picture of a city from the north, with the bleak, cool(temperature wise) atmospheric feeling.

need a bit more practice with night photos and a better tripod, the wind had it shaking, not cool @ all. Soon as this weather gets better...
