Inertia strikes again... though with today turning out as cold and windy as it did, it was probably for the best that I ended up going for a short chilly walk instead of a longer but even chillier ride...
Utica Harbor Lock, no longer in use... it originally provided access between the Barge Canal and Utica Harbor. It's unusual in that it's the only lock on the canal which wasn't used for navigation; it also has a unique design, with a canal-side one-piece door that raises and lowers, and a harbor-side two-piece door that swings open and closed.
Geese flying overhead. Given how chilly it was maybe they were contemplating migrating south...
The canal and Canalway Trail running under I790... and a rather threatening sky.
Imminent sunset bathes Utica Marsh in golden light... at least until the sun disappeared behind more clouds.
A green heron high overhead, trying to decide if I was enough of a threat to merit flying off.
