Wait a sec, AC, You said us; there is no us. We know you're taking the photo, but where are B&B.
Well you see, we were thwarted, and they are not there, for the Gastropub is no longer open for breakfast. Too bad, so sad.
The alternate restaurant, Freska, wouldn't be open until 10, so we had a half hour to kill. B & B went off somewhere, but Sue wanted to stick around for pictures. I haven't see hers, but I took a few as well. They're all just phone snaps, but I wanted to share a few with you regardless, for it was one of those wonderful September days.
After wandering the empty patio, we headed to the park just a little way down the river from where Sue is standing in the above photo. Ye olde town hall ↓ was reflecting well. Too bad about the new boom that ruins photos, but it is there as a safety measure because the water is a bit wild for the next kilometre or so. If a craft mistakenly gets as far as the boom from upriver to the right, they can hang on until they can get out of there.
Breakfast at Freska was good. Afterward, Sue and I wandered about downtown near the bridge. This ↓ is a look upstream, focusing on that single red tree and its reflection.
We walked over the the far side ↓ the same side as the tree. I took a shot along the bank toward that same red tree.
I am not sure that this will be a good colour year, for I have photos form other years that show a lot more colour than we see at this stage this year. So, is it just slower this year, or will we simply have a lesser display? We haven't had a frost yet, so maybe that accounts for the slow change.
I did take a photo looking back toward town hall, which was reflecting pretty well.
I should probably return with my big camera one day so I can zoom in at will and take a little more time. But there are a lot of things that I think I should do but don't do, so we shall see.

Wow, I like your phone shots. The second of looking toward that tree which has color is my favorite. The first had been until I saw the second!
Breakfast is probably the hardest meal to turn a profit. Hard to offer something unique that can’t be found in every other place serving breakfast and people aren’t willing to shell out lots of money for it like they would for supper.
I wonder if staff shortages had something to do with the no breakfast service? I like the brightness and spontaneity of your pix today.
I like the last picture. I always admire the architectural styles of the buildings. They look very old.
Beautiful still water shots.
Beautiful reflections. I love them all. Maybe, next post you can show us photos of the four of you and your food.
I love the reflection photos and the fall color. We have good and bad years for it too and it does have to do with the coldness of the nights.
I love the water pictures and the reluctant appearance of Autumn, same here without the water however. Such a lovely place in which you live.
I like the framing on the second last shot the best. Amazing what you can do just snapping, for sure. If, indeed, it is YOU. Me, I would have my thumb in there somewhere.
Love the last reflection shot.
Phone or not, your photos are outstanding! Sorry to hear that the Gastropub is not open for breakfast.
The reflection is outstanding
Kind of a shock when you go to a restaurant and find that it has closed.
Last photo is wonderful.
Such a calm day. The reflections are wonderful. The autumn colour, if we get any, is slow to appear here this year too.
Interesting about the boom. On seeing it, I first thought of the boom across the Mississippi, to hold back salt water from New Orleans.
Oh my gosh! These photos are stunning. That huge sky and the reflection in the water are awesome!
I think your pictures are wonderful, especially that last one.
Nicely done!
Yes, the restaurants are changing things up with the tourists going home.
These are wonderful photos. Good work, as always.
What a pretty place you live in.
The leading lines are great in both shots, but I like the first red tree picture better. Reflection shots are everything. The clouds! xoxo
I can't believe how many posts I've missed of yours. Sorry about that. This looks like a beautiful photo shoot-- though sorry about the pub being closed for breakfast. That's disappointing!
Wonderful shots.
I'm also wondering how this year will be. It's seemed slow for colours.
