Earlier this week we went to Marietta to work on our booths. It's been a month since we've been there. The holidays and then the very cold weather kept us from making a run upriver, so we did some catching-up work this week.
The river is so beautiful at any time of year, and when it's iced over it is as compelling as a sunny day in May.
I apologize for the spots on the photos. My trusty camera is, alas, finally going to be replaced. I've had it ten years and taken thousands of photos with it, so i will be sorry to let it go.
This one is in Ravenswood, the railroad trestle across Sandy Creek, that is still in use.
I never tire of looking at the Ohio River, no matter the season.

Brr, that looks cold. Warmed up here, but due to turn cold again.
ReplyDeleteI forget just how cold & icy it can get there living so far away now. It's been that way for many years.
ReplyDeleteI thought you might enjoy this little bit of history too. http://appalachianmagazine.com/2017/01/17/the-coldest-day-in-american-history/
Who can imagine Ice in the Mississippi in New Orleans?! I wonder if the Ohio was completely frozen over that year?
