A Black And White Kind Of Day

River Walk

                         River Walk along the Missouri looking east toward the Bond Bridge.

Down By The Riverside......

Visited Berkley Park at the River's Edge today.  Great day for a walk.

Independence Eve

Bond Bridge on July 4th eve.... a short fireworks show tonight. Tomorrow night the LED lighting on the Bridge will burst forth and a much longer display of pyrotechnics will happen.
First two shots are multiple exposures sandwiched... fireworks shots are all F5.6 at 1/4 ISO 2000. Nikon D3, 24-70 lens. It would be nice if the fireworks could be higher tomorrow night :) .

Twenty-Eight Feet and Counting

Not as high as 1993...... yet... work on removing the old Paseo Bridge continues.... deck is completely gone.. vertical supports going next.
As marvelous as the bridge is.... a simple thistle is just as becoming... although less functional in our eyes I suppose.

The river is flowing very fast and is a deep chocolate color with lots of debris.
