USS Alabama

USS Alabama (BB-60) a World War II era battleship in Mobile Bay at sunset. We forget that these were the original "shock and awe" weapons. They were also the focus off strategic arms control negotiations in the period leading up to World War II. The USS Alabama is now a museum outside of Mobile, Alabama. Shot with a tripod-mounted Nikon D90 and a Tokina 16-50mm f2.8 AT-X Pro lens.
