The Cool Guy

When I was out in Tremont on Friday, I stopped into Lolita. My friends and I lucked into some seats at the bar. The perfect place for people watching.

As fate would have it, this 'cool' guy was sitting at the corner of the bar. He is one of my favorite people to watch. Although you could make fun of this dude, (actually, I said that he looks like he just emerged for the casion scene in Reno)you have to love him.

He is living the dream. He is dressed in some groovy threads and out with some friends (it might have been his daughter) as a cool joint in Tremont.

This is not a guy ready for the retirement village.

The thing that caught my attention were the shades, but the leather jacket with the zippers kept my attention. I just wish the lighting was better so the picture would have been clearer.

Tremont Tressel Bridge

I have previously mentioned that I really enjoy the bridges of Cleveland. I posted a photo of this tressel bridge a few weeks ago. Yesterday, I noticed a train going across it on my drive home. I know this was a working bridge, but I had never seen a train cross it.

I tried to quickly pull over a get a great shot of the engine steaming across the front of the bridge. It didn't really work out that way. I did manage to get a photo of it heading across the river.

The sky in the background did not come out well because I hadn't taken the time to set the exposure correctly. I decided to convert it to black and white instead. The other photo I snapped of the bridge came out with a much better balance, but the train is not so visible on the bridge.
