Segovia? Lyon? Val d'Aosta?
Not a Roman aqueduct.
Laura was crossing the Susquehanna at Harrisburg, heading toward Pittsburgh.
The river is nearly a mile wide there, spanned by railroad trestles, high enough to withstand flooding.
Anjali held up her cellphone and clicked.
Then they were on the other side.

For a song about another wide river, the Missouri, check out Jerry Garcia's "Shenandoah Lullaby." (Jerry's been gone 20 years this month.)

Wow! Taken with an iPhone from a moving car.

No wonder the sales of lower priced point and shoot cameras are declining.

I often hear people say the they need a better camera to take good pictures.

It is the photographer, not the camera.

Anjali, keep them coming.

Alan, all I know is that if I tried that, the photo would be lopsided and blurry. Have no idea what the process was. Artists just do.

Beautiful, perhaps Dreamer.

Meanwhile back at work, US. 8-nil, with lots of new young players on the patch, and 45,000 in the seats. Bienvenue a Brazil!

Nice photo but Pittsburgh should be off limits for Mets fans for a while.

QUOTES
"The day after my 80th birthday, which overflowed with good wishes, surprises and Covid-safe celebrations, I awoke feeling fulfilled and thinking that whatever happens going forward, I’m OK with it. My life has been rewarding, my bucket list is empty, my family is thriving, and if everything ends tomorrow, so be it.
"Not that I expect to do anything to hasten my demise. I will continue to exercise regularly, eat healthfully and strive to minimize stress. But I’m also now taking stock of the many common hallmarks of aging and deciding what I need to reconsider."
--Jane E. Brody, my pal in the NYT newsroom, oh, a few years back, in the Personal Health column, Sept. 13, 2021.

"People have said to me, ‘You’re fully vaccinated. Why are you being so careful?’” said Dr. Robert M. Wachter, professor and chair of the department of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. “I’m still in the camp of I don’t want to get Covid. I don’t want to get a breakthrough infection.”
