Blues in the Shadows #ShadowshotSunday

Last Saturday (September 16) was the annual Blues on the Bridge music festival in downtown Binghamton, New York.

The bridge the festival used to be held on (it's a different, nearby bridge now, because the festival outgrew the original bridge) casts a shadow on the river.

A commemorative statue called The Skirmisher.  Hundreds pass it every day without knowing its interesting history.  There is a time capsule under this nearly 100 year old statue, which commemorates those area residents who served in the Spanish-American war and has been moved twice since its erection.

The man who designed this statue also designed the west pediment of the U.S. Supreme Court building.

Nearby, shadows at the entrance of a short pedestrian tunnel which is part of the riverwalk also in downtown Binghamton, New York.
