October day on the river

Today was a great day to have to drive someplace along the Ohio River. I took my time and enjoyed the trip, first up the West Virginia side and then back down the Ohio side. There were plenty of good photo opportunities. I'll post the boat photos later.

One of my last stops was at an abandoned coal tipple. As I walked down the path from the road to the river, I saw these sycamore leaves in the sunlight, with the river behind.

This being October, the tree or trees in this mooring cell are getting ready for winter.

The photo above was taken around noon today. Compare it to this one taken near sunset on Memorial Day weekend this year.

More later and over the next few days.
