Old man blue sky river

An evening where a sudden change to rainy clouds added heavy blue tone to the Ton-Le Sap river walk.

And some angry skies, indeed...for those who spot such pareidolian patterns.

But the evening dinner boats are ready for an evening with some colourful partying on the river.

The large and high store building of "La Samaritaine" near the bridge "Pont Neuf" in Paris…

In this evocative image, a tranquil scene unfolds along the banks of a river, the Seine, given the context. The black and white palette adds a timeless quality, accentuating the stark contrasts between light and shadow.
A gently cruising boat, illuminated by warm lights, stands out against the cooler tones of the landscape, suggesting a sense of life and movement amid the stillness. The reflections on the water create a shimmering texture that draws the eye, inviting one to linger on the scene.
In the background, stately buildings rise gracefully, their architectural details softened by the monochromatic scheme. The presence of trees adds a touch of nature, balancing the man-made structures and hinting at a connection between urban life and the natural world.

A hint in a novel of "jazz boats" and a brainstorm later, and I find in my world the river towns have been reborn in a whole new image...

Hint: in Cairo, Illinois beignets and café au lait are de rigueur.

New on the blog: Montreal’s Summer Boats Revisted: https://heliomass.com/posts/118-montreals-boats-in-2023/

The poor old boat seems to get left out of transit discussions around here, but they open up some exciting opportunities. So, let’s talk about the humble boats.

Fog on the Rhine. I shot this little video on my morning bike ride, at my rest stop by the Mondorf ferry station between Cologne and Bonn. It was one of the first really cold nights of the year and the river was still warm, resulting in thick early morning fog.
