After vegging most of the day, I suggested to Jeanne we should get a couple of Blizzards at DQ and head to the River Walk.  She liked the idea so that is what transpired.  I continue to be amazed at the diversity of the population that is present on the River Walk.  There is always something new going on and on this evening the Twilight was once again docked.

It was about 7:15 pm when we arrived at the river.  The sun was turning a warm, soft yellow and made for some excellent shooting conditions.  Scott Kelby says there are only two times of the day to shoot landscape.  Just before dawn and just before dusk.  Kind of limits your shooting opportunities in the Summer but the Fall time of the year it’s great.

I know I’ve posted several images of the Twilight on this blog.  It is just such a pretty boat.  Perhaps because it is blue and reflects blue around it.  Blue happens to be my favorite color so I’m usually guilty of boosting the blue when ever possible.  🙂

It’s too bad the Twilight doesn’t start in Dubuque, over night in the Quad Cities and then return to Dubuque.  I ‘d do that trip in a heart beat.  Jeanne and I talked about it last evening.  Takes some of the luster off the event, when we would have to drive to Davenport to start the cruse (then sleep over in Dubuque) and then drive back to Dubuque.   We noticed that the front deck of the Twilight is covered with wooden rocking chairs.  🙂

We finally made it to the end of the River Walk and was greeted with perfect sun light on the old railroad bridge.

We had a wonderful time at the River Walk.  The weather was perfect, there was a nice mild breeze blowing and the temperature was moderate.  It was fun to watch the little children play near the river and to hear all their inquisitive questions to their parents as they traversed the walk.

I think  I could go down there about every evening and enjoy myself.  Not to mention pick up an image or two.  We are off on a photo shoot this afternoon.  Hope to have something worthy of your visit tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your Monday.  Be careful.
