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.

From a Scott Kelby photo walk in October 2019. We spent time walking around the riverfront area in Kentucky and congregated back for Cincinnati skyline shots at sunset and after sunset. I got some shots I liked over the course of the walk. Unfortunately I wasn't happy with my after sunset shots. Too bad, I don't have a shot I like of the Ferris wheel lit up. I like this one a little before sunset with some long shadows.
The SkyStar Ferris wheel moved to San Francisco in 2020. It was a popular attraction while in Cincinnati, and there is talk of installing a permanent Ferris wheel at the site.

Went to see the Ansel Adams Exhibit. Outstanding. The museum was founded in 1881 and has over 67,000 works covering 6,000 years of history. I'm as interested in the museum building as some of the exhibits. The balcony is a little seating area adjoining the Adam's exhibit. The museum gift shop is to the bottom left.
Built in 1917, this Arts and Crafts-style house stands along Epworth Avenue in Cincinnati’s Westwood neighborhood. One of the best examples of the style in Greater Cincinnati, the stucco-clad house features a front gable roof with broad overhanging eaves, exposed rafters, and decorative exposed beams, a front bay window with a shed roof, integrated urn planters on the second floor, and tapered walls, a side wing with a side gable roof, large window bays, and an arched window, a side entry wing with a faux pergola supported by two doric columns, an arched entry bay with decorative sidelites, and an arched window on the side under a central gable, tapered walls at the porch, and a decorative paint job above the windows on the second floor that accentuates the house’s windows and the arched central opening on the front gable. The house is one of the purest-to-form representations of the Arts and Crafts movement in Cincinnati, which is largely characterized in the region by simple side-gable bungalows from mail order catalogs or local builders.

Cincinnati, OH. Caught on my way to choir rehearsal. 12 Feb 2009 Project 365. Happy birthday, Ruthy.
The Observatory, the nation's first, now joins 11 other structures in Cincinnati with this prestigious designation. These structures are recognized as being of significance not only to the city, but to the nation as a whole. The Cincinnati Observatory can proudly lay claim to being "the birthplace of American astronomy".

My Younger brother, Mike, He has a 10th floor apartment in downtown Cincinnati. I took this photo from his apartment at sunset - I just loved the way it looked.

Finally had a free night that I was not burdened with papers to read, notes to write, or patients to see... I have been wanting to get a decent shot of Cincinnati fo r a while now, so I just went to the first place that looked decent. Its a hard skyline to photograph, but this was good enough I think. This was also the maiden voyage of my new tripod, which worked a treat! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy! :)

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.

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.
Built in 1926, this Arts and Crafts and Tudor Revival-style house stands along Epworth Avenue in Cincinnati’s Westwood neighborhood. The red brick house features a red tile roof with multiple gables, a front entry with a semi-circular roof, arched leaded glass windows, and an arched door, a front gable on the first floor with a blind arch filled with brick in a basket weave pattern, a decorative chimney, limestone trim, and a stone block base.
