A line of rail cars along the break wall of Lake Erie near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. Behind the cars are piles of sand. The setting sun makes the cars glisten.

Nautica Queen on the Cuyahoga River

It was a great night for cruising up the Cuyahoga and here is the Nautica Queen with a full load of Friday evening partiers.

Soft evening light. Quiet waters. Skyline off to the side.

Exposure: 1/400 @ f/11
ISO 400



This second version was enhanced by adding a red filter in Adobe Lightroom to give it more nostalgic look. Which do you prefer?

Our Lovely B&B in Edinburgh

We stayed at a small bed & breakfast in Edinburgh called McNeil House. The wall that surrounds the house was built in the 1840's. It surrounded a farm. The house was built in the early 1900's.


This the gate from the road. You can't drive your car to the door.


This is view from our window. In the background you can see the city and the hills across the river.


Both streets and sidewalks are very narrow here.


A typical street sign in Edinburgh.


Yep, this house is built right into the wall.

More Edinburgh-Smiling Faces!

The weather has been absolutely fabulous with not a drop a rain. I think I'll be returning with a sunburn!
