I took a riverfront walk early to beat the crowds and pounding heat. I beat the crowds, but not so much the hotness of the day.The water, due to a slight breeze, wasn't totally calm. This made the reflections a bit distorted.
I took a walk in my neighborhood this morning. The fog was extremely dense and I only saw 3 other walkers. I could see very little of Lake Michigan.
This is a view along the riverfront. Another sign of Spring-many of the floating piers have been placed back into the water!
The Riverfront Motel alongside the Derwent River in Rosetta has a long history that goes back to the 1950s. Many features of its original architecture remain. I'm pleased to say it also features this wonderful neon sign, which is increasingly rare these days. It is merely a short distance from the famous MONA, Australia's largest private art gallery.

Will It Play In Peoria?
I think quite a bit!
A good friend and I hit the road in June to go several places in Illinois. One was Peoria. We went to the Riverfront Museum which is downtown and along the Illinois River.
They have quite a few neat things well-worth checking out: Planetarium, Art, Natural History, Dinosaurs, Outdoor Sculptures, and a great Waterfowl Decoy Collection.
[I don't work for or get paid by Peoria promotions. We just thought it was pretty good.]

Nashville is located along the Cumberland River pretty much in the center of the state. I'm standing on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world.

After the snowstorm that ended mid Saturday morning I walked along the riverfront. My primary motivation was to buy more coffee beans, but I couldn't resist taking a few photos of the storm's aftermath. The shots in this trio have a "farview" focus.
This is on the South Pier side, headed for the mouth of the river and Lake Michigan.
Saturday afternoon was yet another time of grayness and I had to force myself into a slushy walk. I thought that the sepia mode would at least give a bit of variety to the scenes. I am really, really looking forward to a couple weeks of warmth and sunshine-just enough to get me through the winter.
Tuesday morning was spent watching heavy lake effect snow fall on the riverfront. By mid afternoon the storm had moved on, the sun was shining, and the temperature was no longer polar vortex. It was good to be out and about once more!
Dark skies suddenly enveloped the Sheboygan riverfront Saturday afternoon. It amazed me how quickly the charter fishing boats returned to dock.
It was finally warm enough to take a riverfront walk, or so I thought. There were winds from the north producing a 15 windchill. I lasted a mere 15 minutes, but at least I got a little fresh air after being housebound for two days.
Sunday afternoon Sheboygan was hit with a thunder storm that quickly veered out over Lake Michigan. After the storm left, the sunset along the riverfront was incredible.
The shots in this series were taken from or near Sheboygan's 8th Street bridge. The bridge is part of the riverfront.
This plant has grown from a crack in the walkway and hangs over the docks and river.
As far as I am concerned, these riverfront evenings can keep on coming like this and I'll never become bored. This was shot from our second floor apartment's balcony. (That's the FIRST floor if one uses the British system.).
I was a lonely walker along the Sheboygan riverfront Wednesday afternoon. There was a blue sky and sunshine, but there was also an unseasonably frigid wind. It was good to be out and about, but it was short-lived due to the single digit Fahrenheit temperature.Yesterday was definitely "cooler by the Lake" in a way that was "not coo" at all. ;-)
When I had spotted them from above I was not sure if she was homeless and finding a spot away from people or not. When I came by later on my walk and spoke with her she said she gets that a lot. It was just a favorite quiet place to enjoy the sunset. She said when the road is not blocked off, cars and all sorts of folks gather down at the waters edge.
Lee had recently graduated from college and had an online graduation ceremony in 2020. A very different experience and one it sounds she did not enjoy so much after devoting so much time into her degree.
Her dog, Chloe, works as an emotional support dog for one of the local elementary schools. She was protective of Lee, but put at ease when Lee called her back. A gentle big dog.
