When we lived near Cleveland we always liked to go to the lake and watch the sunset. In fact I proposed to Karen at Neff Road which has now become Wildwood Park. When we used to go it was very small and it has gotten much larger now. The picture to the left was taken at Lakewood Park as the sun was getting low in the sky.

Cleveland was an industrial powerhouse city at one point with the steel mills and the Cuyahoga river. The picture to the left is of the powerhouse complex in an area called the flats. It has been renamed the First Energy Powerhouse and it now houses the Cleveland Aquarium. The white tent peaks you can see behind it are part of the Nautica Entertainment Complex. The powerhouse supplied electricity for Cleveland's electric railway and streetcars.

Cleveland is a city of unique bridges and the red bridge to the left is the Center Street bridge built in 1901 by the King Bridge Company of Cleveland. It rotates around the center of the bridge. The lower left photo shows an ore carrying boat being pulled by a tug boat on the Cuyahoga River. The picture immediately below is taken at Edgewater Park of the Cleveland skyline near sunset.
