I found this pie chart next to an office in the Solon Campus Center (SCC).

My visual essay on the Voyageur Lakewalk Inn, Part Three


I saw portable metal fences and plastic orange cones on what was the Superior Street parking lot of the Voyageur Lakewalk Inn.


My visual essay on the Voyageur Lakewalk Inn, Part Two


This sign still publicizes parking for the now flattened Voyageur Lakewalk Inn.


My visual essay on the Voyageur Lakewalk Inn, Part One


For some reason unknown to me, the sign for the new Lakeview Apartments has fallen down.

I bought one 12pk of 12oz cans of Grain Belt Blu at Canal Park Liquors


I found my inebriation, drinking blueberry beer.  Yes, that’s a rephrase on the title, “I found my freedom, on Blueberry Hill”.  My friends and I are going to drink Grain Belt Blu while watching today’s Minnesota Vikings vs. Seattle Seahawks game.  This week is my turn to buy the game beer.


I found a hilariously defaced street light


This is on the south side of Superior Street, across the street from the demolished Voyageur Lakewalk Inn and soon to be built Lakeview Apartments.  Yet the Lakeview Apartments will diminish the lake view from King Manor.  My title of this image is “Eyes on Superior Street”.

I attended the University of Minnesota Duluth Mid-Autumn Party


Hosted by the Chinese Student and Scholars Association, this open to everybody party is held to celebrate the Chinese traditional Mid-Autumn festival.  This party was held in the Kirby Student Center (KSC), Kirby Ballroom.  I spent five dollars to buy a ticket and must have eaten at least ten dollars worth of food.


I found a Duluth Lakewalk construction site


This construction site to reinforce the shoreline is west of Leif Erikson Park.

A Car Drives Through It, last image


I hope whoever owns that car has good automobile insurance to cover that damage.


A Car Drives Through It Three


I’ve hear that people should take their own path in life.  But, taking a path through the steel fence at King Manor is the wrong path to take.  I wonder how the driver drove through that steel fence.  Was the driver driving drowsy, drunk, stoned, or all three at the same time?


Also, any photographers that read my blog should be aware that excellent photographic opportunities could happen right outside your front door.


In addition, a light rain started falling around King Manor a few seconds before I could take this beautiful image.


A Car Drives Through It Two


A vehicle recover crew is at King Manor, East Second Street.


A Car Drives Through It One


Yes, that’s a pun on the movie title “A River Runs Through It”.

I love attending fan conventions


I love attending with my friends fan conventions such as Anime Detour or AniMinneapolis.  But, I was unable to attend any of these in 2021.  I hope that I can attend one or two or three conventions in 2022.


Chalk Art for September 2021


I continue to wonder who the artist is that makes these wonderful murals.


What is on King Manor’s fourth floor bulletin board for September 17, 2021

Chester Creek stream gauge


East of the Chester Park Playground, I found this sign and stream water level height gauge.



The water level is low at Chester Creek on Saturday September 12, 2021.


The pedestrian bridge south of Chester Park Playground

 


This is an image of the pedestrian bridge south of Chester Park Playground, looking north towards the playground.


The coffee cup is there to give a sense of scale.  A sense of scale is created by the juxtaposition of objects and subjects within the frame that establishes a size relationship based upon that juxtaposition.

I attended the AFL-CIO Labor Day Picnic 2021


This is the yummy and free food that I ate at Bayfront Festival Park.



This is the portable stage for political speakers and local bands that provided live music.


West of the Duluth Depot, I found a sinkhole.


Located on the south side of West Michigan Street, I found two flashing barricades.



The sinkhole was not that deep or wide.  Yet, someone could get in trouble if they fell into this hole.

I saw “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”


Many years ago, I first read about the Mandarin fighting the Hulk in elementary school.  This new story is much better than the comic I read and is worthy of a 10 out of 10 score.
