I was having second thoughts about going on the GIFT (Gay Invitational Fellowship Tournament, a gay bowling league) Cruise due to the weather, but it turned out to be a relatively nice night. A little hazy, so I apologize for some of the fuzzier shots. Anyway, some music by Julee Cruise for the cruise:

A+.  Love the buildings framed by the bridge trusses.

 

Was that a blue herron you captured in that one pic?

 

Question - putting aside any effect natural or artificial light may have on it, what color is the cap on the Key Tower?

 

Great set of photos.  I bet GreenCityBlueLake or one of our other local environmental/urban issues oriented group would love the picture of the heron and mallard with the old industrial detritus.

Nice light, actually. I like the effect when late-afternoon light reflects off the water to illuminate the structural elements beneath the bridges. The freighter activity is interesting, too.

For some reason, I really dig that last photo.  Great mood.

Robert, I have lived at Winton Place a long long time and I have noticed the most freighter traffic this season.  In past years it seemed they would come in one at a time, but this year I'm seeing that while one is leaving two more are approaching.  Never tire of watching.
