Downtown Sky #SkywatchFriday

 Earlier this week, I got a phone call from my sister in law.  Did I want to go to see an event?  I did, and on the way home, we drove past some buildings that were so familiar from when I used to work in a downtown office, but I rarely see as a remote worker.

I didn't expect to be in that area but it was a good opportunity for some sky watching. 

Our local courthouse.
The sun came out for a few seconds.  Don't blink!

Sky reflections in second story building.

Our former train station, repurposed.  There is a highly regarded steakhouse in that building now, but I wish we had Amtrak service instead.  We haven't had train service in over 40 years.

Hoping all of my readers had a Happy New Year.  Skywatcher Yogi blogged "I am wishing all of you a peaceful, healthy, rewarding, and prosperous 2026." and I second that thought.  Thank you, everyone who makes Skywatch possible.

Joining Yogi and other sky watching bloggers for #SkywatchFriday.

  5. I had to go downtown to pay our property taxes on NYE. I had worked there for 28 years and I was a little uncertain how the area was laid out. It's been only six years since I retired. You don't use info, you lose it.

  6. Very train station-esc. Yeah, train service has really fallen off a cliff in our country.
