Kelby Worldwide Photowalk: Cleveland Flats

Lisa and I joined a group of photographers for the Kelby Photowalk on Saturday morning in the Flats. We started at Shooter's parking lot, curled around the old powerhouse, down to the Left Back condos and the old lift bridge, the across the swing bridge and under the Detroit-Superior bridge, at which point we stopped for lunch and chimping at the Flat Iron Cafe. The weather started off cold and windy, but warmed up to a relatively balmy mid-60's. The sky was pretty blah, not a terrific background for the city skyline.

Despite the cold, there were a couple of groups of scullers on the river - all that rowing probably kept them nice and warm. There was one woman rowing in a sleeveless shirt - probably raised in Chardon, even native Clevelanders (usually) aren't that crazy.

Some skylines (picture beautiful blue skies and big puffy white clouds in place of the flat grey sky):

This one's from the swing bridge, looking east.

 

Good time, I'd do it again - maybe with bluer skies, though.
