Mark -

A helluva nice travelogue you've put together!

My wife & I have become quite charmed by this place they call Miller  
Beach which would seem to be very near to the area you've described  
above as the source of this snap; in fact so much so that we just  
bought a beach house there (o.k., it's actually 3 blocks from the  
water but who's counting.) The national lakeshore protected parkland  
seems like a heckuva good place for birding much of the year.

When we start spending some time there I'll be sure to look into the  
respective sensitivities of various emulsions & sensors to the  
radiant energy sources there...

Actually, though, I don't remember seeing any cooling towers from the  
beach where we'll be... there are some foundering steelmills outside  
of the protected duneland areas, though..
