Dock & Walk

When we head downtown, we generally park in the little parking lot adjacent to the river and close to town hall, and we are often tempted to grab some photos. Yesterday was no different,

A little upstream, just beyond town limits and  well to the left and east of the ↓ photo, the river widens out into a lake, or at least what we call a lake. There are cottages and even homes along the lake, and a good proportion of those folk have boats. To facilitate access to downtown, the town has installed a dock with two piers extending out into the river. It doesn't seem get a lot of use, but I do see boats moored there on occasion.

Down to the dock went I, as I have done before, and took this ↓ photo that includes the bridge in the background. I included the bridge so that the viewer could orient themselves somewhat since I have photographed the bridge many times although usually from the far bank. Note: On this day, although I took my camera, I chose to leave it in the car and use my phone.

Turning back toward land, I wanted a photo of the sign, but I also wanted to get the scene, so if you can't read the sign at this resolution, I will tell you that it is Dock & Walk, which is also the title of this post.

I am standing oin the town dock, looking upriver past several private docks.

Turning back the other way, there is a building with at least one residence on the top floor, and I can't help but think what a very fine view they have from their elevated patio. I know that their deck is difficult to see in this photo, but it is there behind the railing near the top. They will sure have a great view of the fireworks tomorrow night.

We did our downtown walk (pictures tomorrow). When we returned there was a canoe situated quite well in the frame, and Sue took a shot. I did a little editing, including turning the light on, or at least attempting to fake it.
