Saturday at Edgewater

Did not see the sailboats until i turned the corner to get to the parking closest to the lake, and i parked on the end, so as to be able to photograph. I was a little late, what ever the event was fourteen boats were out nearly in a straight line, and they were breaking formation. So, my first shot was the best.

In front of the line of boulders between a strip of grass and the lake, there was this stone. On the right is the Terminal Tower, and on the left there is some edifice named Barton. This rock was propped up, and the rock in the lower right looked like a grave marker. I posted this on cool photo ops on facebook* to see if someone had information.

To-night there was to be a night bike ride. There were vendor tents set up for sundry businesses. Just yesterday, Sherwin Williams which has its headquarters downtown, and has had huge (really huge) banners of Lebron James, may put up a new banner with one of these "Guardians". The Lorain Carnegie Bridge, which spans the river Cuyahoga, has huge sandstone pylons with these figures carved. An alternative newspaper, Cleveland Scene, in the past suggested a new name for the local Major League Baseball franchise. They thought the Cleveland Indians a tad racist. One of several alternatives suggested was the Cleveland Guardians, and a variation of these Assyrian god monoliths would be the logo. Well, yesterday, they were not pleased with the banner design.

 

There were dogs in the park, including this happy hairy dachshund.

 

   Beau was getting impatient about his food order not being promptly ready.

There were dogs who competed in a fetch into water jump. These weimaraners are 14 year old Kansas City Bella, and Sir Winston.

 She is almost blind, but still photogenic.
