Some photos from the East side, from Cleveland out to Burton and back and points in between, and of course some random photos thrown in the mix.

 

Leaving Tremont via Clark Avenue, there's a great view of the Industrial Valley:

 

Bridge supports for the now-demolished Clark Avenue bridge:

 

One of the jackknife bridges in the distance, the I-490 bridge above:

 

RTA Red Line Rapid station at East 55th:

 

East 55th Street - lots of churches on this stretch, some were originally built as Jewish synagogues:

 

 

 

 

 

Carnegie Avenue at East 55th and the "Will this redevelopment EVER get off the ground?" building:

 

Approaching the Cleveland Clinic:

 

New Cancer Center at the Cleveland Clinic:

 

The recently rebuilt Cedar-University Circle RTA Red Line station:

 

The charming Cedar-Fairmount commercial strip in Cleveland Heights:

 

 

Typical residential along Meadowbrook:

 

 

The impressive Church of the Saviour on Lee Road:

 

 

The quaint commercial strip at Fairmount Boulevard and South Taylor Road:

 

Bell tower of the First Baptist Church of Greater Cleveland:

 

Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple - that architecture, oy vey!

 

The domed church on East 55th? That's the former home to this congregation which left for Cleveland Heights in the 1920s and then to this location. The neighborhood might be more affluent, but what an ugly bunker of a building in a sea of asphalt.

 

Ah well, on our way to Chagrin Falls - with a few exceptions, the larger homes and estates tend not to be visible from the road; old-school Cleveland wealth tends to be of the quieter variety.

 

Fall color wasn't quite at peak but not bad:

 

 

 

It's not Fall in Cleveland without a visit to the charming village of Chagrin Falls:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And we're off to Burton to take in the sights and sounds of the Apple Butter Festival.

 

 

En route, the headquarters of ASM International with its landmark geodesic dome:

 

And here we are - the fall color seemed closer to peak the further away we got from the city:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The festival is held on the grounds of Century Village, adjacent to the town square:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oops! Didn't see the sign until after the fact - oh well:

 

 

 

 

 

You can take the guy out of Cleveland, but...

 

Even here, sprawl encroaches on the agricultural areas - time to get back to Cleveland proper:

 

I'll take this type of suburbia, thank you:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to Cedar-Fairmount:

 

The recently completed Cleveland School of the Arts:

 

 

 

And one last skyline shot for that day:

 

Onto those random photos - all this time I've had my "newer" camera, I had been meaning to pick up a filter but never got around to it. Took a few test shots to see if it helped.

 

So far so good...

 

 

 

Then there was one of *those* days - the days where I see how the sun is setting, how the clouds are dark and the fall air is crisp. I guess it not just the trees that get to enjoy that Fall color ;-)

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed!

 

 

 

 

You have a great gift for expression... hard to express in photographs, but that was outstanding.

 

I love Cleveland, and I love this photographic presentation!

Time tripping. Also a journey through the whole spectrum of urban patterns.

Purdy! My fave:

 

Loved this tour. I really enjoyed venturing through the east side of Cleveland, and I found Chagrin Falls extremely charming. Wonderful photo set, per usual!

Beautiful! Especially the “October Sky” shots at the end.

Chagrin Falls and Burton are such great little towns.

Stunning photos.

The Apple Butter Festival is always a wonderful experience in history.

 

Great photo set!

wow, very nice. now that is one beautiful fall day well spent!
