Too windy

But actually it was a pretty nice day. It was seasonable, temperature reaching to within a few degrees of average high for the day, sunny, all in all a pretty nice day.

But it was windy. It was too windy.

I rode into the wind over to the river. This is probably one of the last days for shooting the river through the trees. This foliage is about to close this view of the river off completely.A careful examination might provide a glimpse in there of the Lake Street Bridge. The photograph was taken from the bank above the Meeker Island historic site just inside the Saint Paul city limits, facing downstream.

In looking at yesterday's post it struck me that I left out a key detail of the morning brunch with the three generations. I cannot believe I forgot to mention this because it is important to note that nobody got any syrup on their phone.Nantes, le 12 mai 2008. Le dernier match de la saison face à Guingamp a été l'occasion pour Nantes de célébrer la remontée.

Nearly 26,000 were in attendance today as Nantes played their final home game, the final game in la Beaujoire as a Ligue 2 side. All in attendance were in the mood for a party and they took to the lawn immediately upon the conclusion of the game. The celebration is of the return to the elite of French football.

I recommend watching the Nantes website report of reactions. There is a bit too much of guys discussing football but there are several excellent crowd shots.
