Posted July 3, 20186 yr I left my camera at home because I wanted to be mobile and not have to lug it around. All of these photos were taken with an iPhone so please excuse any images that may not be up to par. I arrived to 90 degree weather as if I never left home. The city was in the full summertime swing. There were a lot of people out enjoying what the city has to offer. Downtown and the Cuyahoga Valley in the distance Looking east from the west side I headed down to the west bank of the flats with family for dinner and cruise on the Nautica Queen. We walked along the boardwalk as we had some time to kill before boarding. Onboard the Nautica Queen As the cruise begins my niece asks what kind of bug was on the window. A very nice Clevelander seated at our table overhears the conversation and tells us that it is a Mayfly and gives us a Mayfly education. I will meet the Mayflies personally later down thread. The skyline from the Nautica Queen Our Captain One can see how expansive the skyline actually is from this angle The Beacon rising upward in the left center The following day I make my way over Edgewater Park for a run to Wendy Park and back The starting line As I begin my run it is a very muggy 88 degrees. It is 9 degrees cooler back home albeit due to rain. I make my way down the trail near Edgewater Beach I arrive at Wendy Park 2.75 miles from park to park. Not the 10 mile distance I was told by someone at Edgewater but a nice run nonetheless. I find my way down to the west bank of the Cuyahoga The Nautica Queen and a large ship making their way from the lake into the river The Port of Cleveland The old Coast Guard station is looking much better these days As I moved closer for this photo I was swarmed by a cloud of Mayflies Peace dude I make my way back to Edgewater Back at Edgewater I check out the new beach house Nearing the finish line Run complete The run was 5.53 miles round trip. No I’m not that slow! I stopped along the way to take these pictures ;) After my run I head downtown The Waterfront Line The Powerhouse, Jacobs Pavilion, and the Detroit-Superior Bridge W 10th St hill to/from the east bank of the flats Some good density expanding west into the Ohio city neighborhood from the flats Enjoying the view on this beautiful Saturday afternoon The Center St Swing Bridge West Side Market in the distance Sorry for the redundancy but I couldn’t choose just one The night before this was the busiest spot in the flats. People were packed in like sardines. The Warehouse District looking east I head over to Public Square. This is the first time seeing the new design. Beating the heat on this hot summer day Can’t get there fast enough Beacon construction progress It was time for some water and some rest. Bye from Cleveland!
July 3, 20186 yr Nice! Well let that pace slide since it's obviously exaggerated with the time to take all great pics ;)
July 3, 20186 yr Outstanding set of pics. The camera phone didn't let you down! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
July 3, 20186 yr Thanks for sharing! I miss Ohio dearly and love seeing how great Cleveland is looking these days. I love the view of the skyline from out on the lake. It is definitely my favorite view, which might be biased since it's one of the less common views since there are some obvious geographical hurdles to pass to get good pics from out on the lake. Nonetheless, it's looking beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
