Same but different. . .

These benches aren't there nomally but placed in strategic spots for those who need to rest after strolling the carnival grounds. The Rose Festival is this weekend and while the ships (Coast Guard, Navy and Canadian ships) arrive in the Willamette, the carnival goes on. There will be a parade in the downtown area and all that is associated with it. I have other plans so won't be going to see parade. Yesterday, I had hoped to see some ships arriving but when the temperature got to 90 degrees, it was too hot for me and I headed home on the Max train and then the bus. It was a great day photographing bridges and walking over two of them and in between 4 of them. Maybe I will get a chance to go back before the ships leave. . .
