A day in November: All quiet on the riverfront
The river wasn’t all that high, but the warning barricade served as a place to lean the bike on Monday, Nov. 25, 2024.
The sky above Albany brightened on Monday, and I took advantage of the good weather for an afternoon bike ride down the riverfront to Bowman Park.
News was happening elsewhere (see below), but on the riverfront there was nothing noteworthy or new to report. I took some shots anyway:
We’re not used to seeing that much blue at Bowman Park in November.
The ducks found a high spot near the Willamette River bank to bask in the afternoon sunshine.
But earlier, driving into town on Monday morning, I was reminded that Albany teachers were still on strike. The public schools have been closed because of it since the day after Veterans Day:
Members or supporters of the Albany teachers union picket on North Albany Road near Thornton Lake Drive on Nov. 25, 2024.
