Guaranteed to Make a Splash

It'll be a while before I'm able to find time to upload a new chapter of The Last Frontier, so in the meantime, enjoy these two new photographs I took over the weekend.

This picture is of the "Splinter" log-flume ride at Dixie Landing Amusement Park / Blue Bayou Water Park in Baton Rouge, LA.  (I and the rest of my family had learned of this park about a month ago, and since they were offering a promotion allowing two days of admission to both parks for the price of one, it was worth making a special trip to check out.)  On the second day after we'd all had enough, I walked around the establishment, taking pictures of all the rides and attractions.  I was initially going to just take a picture of this and move on, but I decided to wait until I could catch one of the logs coming down the hill.  The picture snapped at the bottom of the hill, right as the log was kicking up a big splash, and thankfully this camera handles motion shots well enough for everything to come out fairly clearly.
