Like A Spotlight on the Bathroom Wall

Late afternoon sunlight streamed through the window and onto the photo on the bathroom wall.

The boat is a photo I took in Croatia about 9 years ago.

The sun really made the photo come alive.

Neville Island Night Lights on the Ohio River

The retirement party at our friend’s home on Neville Island began in early afternoon but the barges and tugs went by into the night. Both directions!

Lots of drama to watch. Multiple freight trains on the opposite bank blew their train whistles.

See the powerful blue light the Captain was shining down river to illuminate a buoy in the middle of the river?  Neville Island Bridge is in the background.

Centerpieces with tiny white lights and fishing accessories glowed like lanterns.

Here you can see the dark barges being pushed by the tug as they approach the bridge.IMG_1673.JPG
