“Meow,” said the bridge
Spring’s warm weather was on its own timetable. While it looked warm enough outside, it was a cold, windy day.
I liked Ann Arbor; I’d be willing to go back and look around some more. In my short stay there, I saw some interesting things. Including this graffiti-encrusted railroad bridge, which I think is quite lovely. Plus, it says, “Meow.” How can you NOT like a bridge that meows at you?

PS – This is the 500th post here on One Day | One Image and it seems like a good time to thank everyone who takes the time to stop by, look around, or comment. It’s been fun, and I hope to be around for at least 500 more posts!
PS, part 2: One of my followers (LensScaper, I am looking at you) wondered what this looked like in color. Here at One Day | One Image, we are happy to oblige:
Madonna of the Sun
On that cold morning, the Madonna looked liked she’d climbed atop the urn to better catch a ray of sunlight, as she tried to warm her marble bones.

On the banks of the Huron River, in Ann Arbor, the wind felt like it was straight from the Arctic. The clouds that had followed us from Chicago were breaking up, but not until they’d dropped a bit of snow overnight.
The first mill on this part of the Huron River was built in 1833, and the adjacent millpond eventually served a flour mill, a woolen mill, a paper mill, and other industries. The “new” hydroelectric station, shown here, was constructed in 1914.
