We've had a front row seat for the annual inspection of the Martin Luther King Bridge in Toledo over the last couple of days. Getting a drawbridge ready for shipping season apparently takes a lot of work. I haven't noticed anything go awry, so, presumably, the old bridge is ready for another busy season of comings and goings on the Maumee River.

The river was fairly calm when I got into the office this morning, and it was really nice outside. So, I dropped my backpack on my chair and went down to the docks right away to grab a few pics. I love this view looking through the MLK bridge (Cherry St. Bridge) at the High Level Bridge and Owens Corning headquarters. What a great way to start the month of June.

This never gets old for me, and I love that. I could watch ships come and go all day long. Arrivals and departures seem to be getting fewer and further between, though, as Winter approaches.
