My Brompton

An Unexpected Sighting

In a city park: A Great Blue Heron, looking for dinner.  What wonderful, prehistoric-seeming, creatures these Herons are.  I got a shot of this one flying from one area to another, but snapped it at just the wrong moment to capture the full glory of the massive heron wingspan.

He might have been disappointed.  This little pond is normally stocked, but seemed to have been emptied for the winter.

Just another ordinary day  . . . on a Brompton!

Basil posed, too, at another site. I have no idea what he’s standing on.  It looks like an industrial drainpipe, long disused.

That’s a decaying foundry in the background.

The sealed pipe probably has something to do with the foundry. Much of this area was once industrial, back in the days when there was a lot of industry in the United States.
