I enjoy photographing old bridges, and this one was no exception. It's builder (John Roebling) is better known for his work in building the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. While we were in Cincinnati, this bridge was closed to vehicular traffic. However, pedestrians could still cross the bridge - which I did to get a view of the Cincinnati skyline.

This image of the Cincinnati skyline was taken across the Ohio River in Covington, Kentucky. The statue depicts Chief Little Turtle of the Miami tribe. His fascinating life is described here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Turtle HFF!

I wanted for some time to photograph from this spot a bird's-eye view of Cincinnati at night. Events aligned so that I finally could take this photo without being kicked out.
On the very bottom of the photo is Interstate 75, which connects Covington, Kentucky over the Ohio River to Cincinnati, Ohio.
Technical data:
Camera: Canon EOS 3

So every year there is a Capture Cincinnati photo contest - I had this shot in mind to submit for this year - - Well it finally came to fruition - - some of you know I've had this shot in mind for awhile now and practiced on my front lawn awhile back. ;) I adore how it turned out - I especially love the clouds from the sky toward the bottom of the glass. I got to this balcony a bit early and waited patiently for the sun to start to disappear behind the skyscrapers.

Beautiful morning for a walk across the Taylor-Southgate Bridge in Newport, Kentucky. The reflections in the early morning did their job.

Cincinnati was founded in 1788 when Mathias Denman, Colonel Robert Patterson and Israel Ludlow landed at the spot on the north bank of the Ohio River opposite the mouth of the Licking River. The original surveyor, John Filson, named it "Losantiville". In 1790, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed the name of the settlement to "Cincinnati" in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was a member.
Germans were among the first settlers. General David Ziegler succeeded General St. Clair in command at Fort Washington and became the mayor of Cincinnati in 1802. Cincinnati was incorporated as a city in 1819. The introduction of steam navigation on the Ohio River in 1811 and the completion of the Miami and Erie Canal helped the city grow to 115,000 residents by 1850.
Construction on the Miami and Erie Canal began on July 21, 1825, when it was called the Miami Canal, related to its origin at the Great Miami River. The canal became operational in 1827. In 1827, the canal connected Cincinnati to nearby Middletown; by 1840, it had reached Toledo. During this period of rapid expansion, residents of Cincinnati began referring to the city as the "Queen" city.
Cincinnati depended on trade with the slave states south of the Ohio River, at a time when growing numbers of African Americans were settling in the state. This led to tensions between anti-abolitionists and citizens in favor of lifting restrictions on blacks codified in the "Black Code" of 1804. There were riots in 1829, where many blacks lost their homes and property, further riots in 1836 in which an abolitionist press was twice destroyed, and more rioting in 1842.
Railroads were the first major form of commercial transportation to come to Cincinnati. In 1836, the Little Miami Railroad was chartered. Construction began soon after, to connect Cincinnati with the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad, and provide access to the ports of the Sandusky Bay on Lake Erie.
In 1859, Cincinnati laid out six streetcar lines, using horse-drawn cars, making it easier for people to get around the city. By 1872, Cincinnatians could travel on the streetcars within the city and transfer to rail cars for travel to the hill communities. The Cincinnati Inclined Plane Company began transporting people to the top of Mount Auburn that year.
Cincinnati, a major city of the Ohio Valley, is situated on the north bank of the Ohio River in Hamilton County, which is the extreme southwestern county of the state of Ohio. It is midway by river between the cities of Pittsburgh and Cairo. The city lies opposite the mouth of the Licking River, which fact was apparently the determinant as to its original location.
Cincinnati's core metro area spans parts of southern Ohio and northern Kentucky. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 79.54 square miles (206.01 km2), of which 77.94 square miles (201.86 km2) is land and 1.60 square miles (4.14 km2) is water. The city spreads over a number of hills, bluffs, and low ridges overlooking the Ohio River in the Bluegrass region of the country. Cincinnati is geographically located within the Midwest and is on the far northern periphery of the Upland South. Two-thirds of the American population live within a one-day drive of the city.
This topography is often used for physical activity. The Steps of Cincinnati provide pedestrians a mode to traverse the many hills in the city. In addition to practical use linking hillside neighborhoods, the 400 stairways provide visitors scenic views of the Cincinnati area.
This sign display recently went up at the Cincinnati Sign Museum. The Cincinnati Garden letters above are from Cincinnati Gardens, a local arena that was demolished in 2018. I don't know why there is no "S" in the display. Perhaps it was damaged or it may appear later. I more or less grew up with Cincinnati Gardens where I saw the circus, several hockey games and many Cincinnati Royals games when Oscar Robinson was on the team. It was also a concert venue where Elvis, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and many others performed. Many of the smaller signs are from Cincinnati area businesses. Located in Camp Washington.
This isn't a new photo. And it's not a terribly great photo. It's at least a couple of years old, back when I was using my old camera. In this shot I was trying to do a focus stack with only two photos, one focused near, and one focused far. It worked out pretty well.
You can see why one of Cincinnati's nicknames is "City of Trees".
There were problems, of course, with this photo. I did lots of work on it, moving things, painting things, using sliders on filters etc. So I'm putting it into Slider's Sunday group. HSS!
I wanted to say hi to you all, and that's the reason I posted this.
I am still working on my house, trying to make an apartment for my son and his wife. Clearing, cleaning, and packing away 36 years of my daughter's belongings, scrubbing everything down, moving whole rooms to other rooms etc. I haven't picked up my camera in a couple of weeks. But I still look at all your shots, every day!
If I don't have time, or energy, to comment, please know that I am looking at each one of your works of art/life/nature/people/cities/activities/explorations etc. with great interest, as always.
Built in 1909, this Renaissance Revival-style building at the corner of Warsaw Avenue and Purcell Avenue was constructed as a branch of the Cincinnati Public Library serving the growing Price Hill area. Funded by the foundation created by Andrew Carnegie to provide better library facilities throughout the United States, the red brick building originally had a cross-shaped layout with a front entrance at the top of a centrally located front staircase, which was heavily altered during a major renovation and addition in 2020-2021, expanding the building to the rear and removing the original front steps and entrance. The building features limestone trim, a fieldstone base, a cornice below the roofline, a mansard roof, a decorative surround at the former front entrance, keystones and decorative windowsills at the windows, and a relatively unobtrusive contemporary addition in the rear. The building is a contributing structure in the Warsaw Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
