Center and Marion Street bridges across the Willamette River in Salem, captured just as the fog was clearing.
On a typical Saturday these parking spaces fill rapidly as people visit Prohibition Bistro for Italian food and drink. This Saturday the only cars were those of the reduced staff of workers and customers who came to collect their take-out orders.
I have mixed feelings about this scene. I am glad to see that people are following the concepts of social distancing and self-isolation. I miss the vibrancy of the street activity, worry about these small businesses and their workers, and, like everyone else wonder when and if life will return to normal.
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.).
Sundowns along the riverfront are often like Nature's kaleidoscope. The trio in this post were taken over the course of the late afternoon/early evening last Sunday.
Autumn is officially here and this trio of photos acknowledges this transition. A nearly empty beach, charter fishing boats on their last days of riverfront docking, and fading flowers are all local aspects of the changes that this transition brings. Soon there will be brilliant fall colors. To every thing turn, turn, turn, there is a season....
's actually sunny in Sheboygan today! I like the way that the light played upon the water and so did my fowl weather friends. ;-)
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.
Looking across the river from the Weather Center Café side you can see the charter fishing boats. I wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly disappeared and went to dry dock until next May,
btw-Our apartment is in the background.
Riverfront Park in St. Johns, Florida, is a serene and well-designed green space that offers residents and visitors a chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the St. Johns River.
A pair of old factories, long abandoned, near Vennesla, Norway. Multiple exposures with different perspectives: Pep Ventosa + overlay textures.
It does seem to be getting closer to a wintery state of being on the riverfront. While I can appreciate the next turn of the wheel, I am going to miss my bike rides. Still, there is no polar vortex at the moment and walking is still pleasant.
Construction is drawing closer on the old "BWL" now Accident Fund HQ, City Market appears to be doing well...
TRRA #2002 arrives Tyler Street to switch the riverfront industries on Saint Louis' north side. In the background is part of the old Illinois Terminal elevated structure.
In 1974, Spokane, Washington put on a world's fair. During the six months it was open, over five million people—roughly 28 times the city's population—visited Expo '74. The theme was "Celebrating a Fresh, New Environment." This pavillion was a covered tent back then, now it remains as a weird cable sculpture thing. There are rides and games below, as well as an ice rink. Next door is the IMAX theatre.
I’ll conclude the Budapest trip with these two bronzes from the Danube riverfront in Pest, along the Jane Haining Rakpart. Pictures of other people’s art can at best be documentary or travel photograpy. But what the heck. Don’t know the artist here.
Friday afternoon was sunny with blues skies. Those perfect conditions, plus an urgent need for more coffee beans, led me to the riverfront. The temperatures here have risen to the mid 30's F and fallen to the teens F. As a result, parts of the river leading to Lake Michigan were covered with a thin film of ice while others were uncovered and contained min icebergs that bobbed gently.
I tried something new to me-shooting in my camera's "vibrant colors" mode. All of the images in this series were shot in that mode.
This shot looks towards the mouth of the Sheboygan River as it empties into Lake Michigan. You will notice the flock of seagulls resting on the thin ice.
That last sentence gave me a flashback of an MTV music video featuring Flock of Seagulls with their unusual hair style.
Overlooking the areas popular riverfront in downtown Peoria, IAIS’s SIPE crawls aside the commercial area with some nice EMD power up front.
I expected to see a snow-covered landscape when I woke up this morning, not this. Constant rains and gale winds off of Lake Michigan haveraised the level of the Sheboygan River. The river is also rising up and down in surges as the wind-created waves occasionally block the river from flowing into the lake. As long as the gale winds continue, so will the surges.
If you view the photos that I posted yesterday you can see what is happening on the lake.
Burlington Northern SD40-2 7028 and 7064 lead a merchandise freight on the TRRA High Line along the Mississippi River in the Laclede's Landing district of St. Louis, Missouri, USA, 22 March 1988.
Another riverfront object, quite ordinary but with interesting abstract patterns. I hope that they don't rush to repaint it because I want to see how it finally turns out.
As I went once more for my coffee beans, I saw this combination of metal, weathered wood, ice, and sunlight and had to capture it. Yes, I do seem to go through a lot of coffee beans. It's just one of my few vices.
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.]
