I'm a first-year university student in New Brunswick, Canada. Near my school is a waterfowl park run through with this kind of wooden walkway.
I bought my Canon Rebel in October of 2002; this was from one of my first rolls. It was actually fairly dim because I was experimenting with manual shutter speed and aperture with almost no knowledge about them, but I brightened it up some in Photoshop.
Welcome here! This obviously would be a more pleasing image if it didn't have the huge sunspot on the left. If you crop that area out, the image is better. I do like the perspective, wondering where the path goes.
