I have a tendency to concentrate on the natural history rather than the more industrial aspects.
This latest sketching adventure is an attempt to include the human story. There was traffic rushing across the bridge, even so, I didn't sketch the trucks etc. Although I had my binoculars for birding, I wasn't fast enough to identify the bird flying low and quickly across the water surface in front of me. Maybe it was a killdeer, a bird whose call I thought was familiar to me, but at that moment I was not in "birding mode". I tend to think of nature as somehow separated from humans. Well that is exactly our challenge.
