Tuesday morning, after stopping to pick up coffee beans, I walked along the northern side of the Sheboygan riverfront.

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.
With the Mississippi River down, this debris is revealed. This area is south of the Gateway Arch on the Missouri side looking north, up river.
I took a Thursday morning riverfront walk. It was good to have a less frigid air, even though we were faced with another gray day. I was happy to see that some of the winter ducks have returned to add a bit of feathered diversity into our lives.
's actually sunny in Sheboygan today! I like the way that the light played upon the water and so did my fowl weather friends. ;-)
Both the river and the lake have been very volatile for the last week. Strong winds on Lake Michigan have created waves that have pounded the western shore and sent surges of water along the riverfront. Today's calmness is a welcome relief.
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.
As I glanced over my shoulder, this was my view as I crossed the Riverfront Street bridge this morning. The sunlight was backlighting the trees perfectly, so I raced home and grabbed my camera - returning to take in this scene in downtown Bend. Lucky Live Oregon.

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...

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.
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.
