Posted January 14, 200718 yr Nothing too, too exciting.........just went up to the Marblehead Peninsula to the lighthouse and East Harbor State Park...........a cool, windy, depressing day, but I like the way some of the pics turned out. Marblehead Lighthouse Caretaker's House Cedar Point ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- East Harbor State Park Perry's Monument & South Bass Island in the distance ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Saturday January 6, we had another river flood.........this time the water was higher that the flash flood of last July; although during a "normal" flood like this, property damage and whatnot is not nearly as devastating. I took some shots from my parents' backyard, Blue Bridge, and Monroeville. Backyard Lamereaux Road / Blue Bridge Marsh Field/Park in Monroeville That's it.............nothing very urban.....oh well :-D
January 14, 200718 yr I love the shots by the lake, and the solitude of beaches off-season. This one is wonderful: We've had high water in Fort Wayne going on a couple of weeks now. It never gets high enough to cause damage in the neighborhoods, but the parks never dry out. With everything saturated and the rivers already high, I hope we don't get blasted with any sudden large amounts of precipitation, or we'll have a mess on our hands.

January 14, 200718 yr I love how the districts just flow together. This shot here was worth the price of admission. Very, very nice:
January 15, 200718 yr Nothing urban but this is where the urban folks come to relax... When I was a kid my family had a summer vacation home on Catawba Island. I remember Marblehead, the lighthouse, the arch bridge over Sandusky Bay, Port Clinton Ferry, Put In Bay, Kellys Island, the Bass Islands, and yes my personal favorite Cedar Point. This was taken about 11 years ago, the last time I visited the Islands.
January 15, 200718 yr Nice shots rob. Some bretty good vineyards on the islands as well, as seen from above.
January 15, 200718 yr It was a memorable visit for my bf-at-the-time and me. We didn't know about the ferries from Marblehead, so we took a boat from Sandusky that turned out to be a senior party boat. We were the only males on board not wearing Full Clevelands (pastel double-knit polyester with white belts and matching shoes, Hawaiian shirt optional). There was music, an older gent wearing a plaid sport coat and playing an organ; his entire repertoire consisted of Lawrence Welk's Greatest Hits. The sound was piped throughout the boat and there was no escaping it. Fortunately the bar was well-stocked with wine coolers, and David and I probably drank most of them. Pleasantly blitzed, we were able to enjoy the humor in our situation.
January 15, 200718 yr nice shots tcjoe and rob, lot of memories around there for me! tcjoe the river looks like flood water almost came right up to the bridge level- yipes. also, i was thinking next visit to marblehead you could check out johnson's island and lakeside too. your shots prove it's all just as scenic around there in winter as it is in summer. nice work.
