Mississippi - 1986

Paddlewheeler Creole Queen is unfortunately not an original steamboat. Constructed in Moss Point, Mississippi, the ship took its maiden voyage in 1983, so it was quite new in 1986. The Crescent City Connection bridge, called CCC, spans over the Mississippi River, connecting downtown New Orleans to the Westbank. In the past, the CCC was known as the Greater New Orleans Bridge, and it carries US Highway 90 over the Mississippi. Total length is 4093 m, opened 1958.

I had an X-700 before, and it was a nice unadorned but easy-to-use camera.

A lovely image with a beautiful rainbow. The boat has a great deal of charm even if it is new.

A super start to what I'm guessing will be a new series..............I went to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras quite a few years ago.............it was brilliant!

An iconic bridge and a beautiful paddle boat.............wonderful on their own but both together and a rainbow too.............just wow!

Yes, this will be a "new" vintage series, old scannes slides from 1986. Many thanks, Keith!
