Blue Sky Sunshine and Bridges #SkywatchFriday

We've had grey skies the past several days (plus rain) where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.  I am craving blue skies and sunshine so why not devote today to a beautiful, sunny day we had earlier in September?

Here are some photos taken at a music festival in Binghamton, New York on September 14.

Taken from the Washington Street Bridge, built in 1886 and now a pedestrian only bridge. This is considered a historically important bridge.  It was closed to traffic in 1969 but there is another bridge nearby, also connecting downtown with the Southern part of Binghamton.

The bridge in this picture is not the Washington Street bridge, but the Riverside Drive Bridge aka Memorial Bridge, built in 1923, carrying Riverside Drive.
A portion of the Washington Street bridge.  I have other pictures elsewhere on my blog but my focus (so to speak) was on the clouds and sky..
The other bridge connecting downtown Binghamton with Binghamton's south side.  I love the reflection in this piture.

One more, also from the walking path along the river.

I'm not ready for the gloom of fall and winter.  Please, blue skies, come back soon!

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers each Friday for #SkywatchFriday.
