Afternoon scene on the esplanade of a riverside park in a riperian City, facing the river (technically, a tiday estuary) over an iron safety fence where a group of roughly one hundred pigeons have gathered to rest together; the river walk is wet from melting snow, and there are still patches of snow here and there; the late day sun reflects on the skyline of a smaller island in the middle of the river as a famous bridge stands in the distance against a clear blue sky.
Afternoon scene on the esplanade of a riverside park in a riperian City, facing the river as it meets the concrete barrier of the City's primary expressway, which passes under the park; the river walk is crowded with all kinds of people because this is the first warm day in months; the late day sun reflects on the skyline of a smaller island in the middle of the river, with an esplanade of its own, stands in the distance against a clear blue sky; the other island is technically part of the same borough and is recognizable from a distance by its candy-striped smokestacks of the power plant there.
Afternoon scene on the esplanade of a riverside park in a riperian City, facing the river (technically, a tiday estuary) as a barge crosses near the opposite shore; the river walk is wet from melting snow, and there are still patches of snow here and there; a dad and his two children, who are riding a scooter and bike, are enjoying the weekend; the late day sun reflects on a couple of very new towers on a larger island across the river; a very large bridge stands in the distance against a clear blue sky; the other island is a different borough of the City.
