SSS – Lansing Riverwalk and Farmer’s Market

We decided to combine a walk along the river with a trip to the farmer’s market.  We didn’t realize it was about 95 degrees outside until we got there.  So our walk was pretty short.  This sculpture was the first thing we encountered just a few yards down river from the market.  There were a few scuff marks where some kids had tried to walk up slope.  The shadow doesn’t really show the cool shape.

This bench along the Riverwalk has a much better shadow.  Just a little way farther along we found a bench in full shade.  There is an enclosed pedestrian walkway about two stories up that crosses the river.  We sat there for awhile enjoying the breeze and the shade as we watched people walk, bike, and skateboard by.

I took this picture from where we sat.  The closest bridge is a street (Shiawassee), the second a railroad bridge, and the third (a tiny strip of blue below the RR bridge that you can see if you enlarge the picture) is another street (Saginaw).

The flowers in the foreground are planters on the posts of the iron fence between the Riverwalk and the river.  I’m disappointed that when I panned just a bit to the right to see more of the market and its patio that I cut the ‘ribbon’ sculpture from the picture.  It’s right there at the left side.  Trust me.
