Photos taken yesterday, February 20, 2012:
It's actually difficult to get good shots of the construction from the Georgia side; I'm going over to the Alabama side today to try to get some better shots, as the "race" or "sluice" or whatever you call the fake thing they're building is taking shape.

| At this point what was formerly our most beautiful spot is looking right ugly. I hope that it looks better when the project is finished. |
 |
| The old Powerhouse is hangin' on, but it surely is vibrating. You can see the movement in the windowpanes. |
 |
| Oops! Interrupted a couple of lovebirds. |
 |
| The new rock work looks really lame compared to the old. Guess those old stonemasons are long gone -- as with the wind. |
 |
| Looking downriver from the Powerhouse. |
 |
| There is a guy over there on the new construction, taking photos. Looks like a scarey place to be! |
 |
| I took this photo looking down onto the Riverwalk from the private Eagle and Phenix park. (Yes, I trespassed.) This is the part of the Riverwalk that the diverted water washed out. I surely will be glad when it's repaired and opened back up, 'cause you know -- It's one of my very favorite spots on the Riverwalk, and with it blocked off there is no access north. |
