I'm in to fishing and taking pictures of the Delaware River and Bay

Jim S. McKay's conversations

I would like to request permission to use this photo as an example of a shoreline type in a Delaware Bay Environmental Sensitivity Atlas my company produces for NOAA. Please contact me if this is possible.

Thanks, Jennifer jhorsman at researchplanning dot com

Destroyers in this photo are from left to right. USS Charles F. Adams (DDG-2), USS Forrest Sherman (DD-931) and USS Edson (DD-946). All are decommisioned US Destroyers.

Thanks I just had to stop the car and take this shot when I saw the colors

This Park Is Actually Called "Ralph Stover State Park". The picture shows the Tohickon Creek in the Park.

Tohickon Valley Park (a Bucks County Park)is a few miles south of the bridge shown in the photo.

This is a nice shot of the bridge, which is now only for bikes & pedestrians. The creek is low- with the photo obviously taken in late Spring or Summer. During the Winter, and during the biannual water releases on the dam at Lake Nockamixon (at Nockamixon State Park, about 12 miles North) the water can get as much as six feet higher. Kayakers from all over the Northeast gather here to boat the Class IV rapids created when the dam is opened.

This is a schooner-rigged seagoing fishing vessel, c.1910. A 'skipjack' is a single-masted shallow-water dredging sloop, 50-80 ft, used on the Chesapeake Bay c.1880-1950.

Typo Error Subject believed to be Dingman's Ferry Bridge not Digman's

That is not were Delaware's energy comes from, many of people think it is. Our energy comes from the Conective/Delmarve Power coal fired plant at Edgemoor.
