Desperation

I actually got a lot accomplished today.  Laundry, a short visit with my daughter, a medium-long bike ride before it got too hot, bills paid, and I watched a movie.  Okay, so not everything I did was super-productive, but, hey, it's a holiday and I didn't have any deadlines to meet.

But this afternoon I began getting a little restless.  As the sun was getting lower in the sky, the light was getting more and more beautiful and I wanted to get out and do some photography.  Desperation was setting in though.  Where to go and what to photograph?--that was the predicament.

So I headed over to Riverlink Park in Amsterdam.  I didn't really expect much, but it's someplace I haven't been in a long time.  Reality met my expectations.  Although it was still a beautiful day, and it was a nice place to spend a little time, I was not at all inspired--

except...

on the bridge crossing the railroad tracks. 
A little hdr.


And a little shooting through chain link.

We always end up taking tons of photos on this bridge!!!
Did a train come thru?
I love to take pics there of the stairs, the fence, the bricks, the water line... I like repetitive images. Friday I took photos there of the big anchor and some of the signs. I will post them soon - just haven't had time.
