Yesterday's Winter Solstice, the first day of winter, the shortest day and longest night of the year, gave us the opportunity to take a photo stroll along the length of the lower Cuyahoga River (aka the Federal Navigation Channel). Winter is a quiet time for the river as recreation takes a break, giving way to the steady drone of industry accented by sounds from flocks of geese and seagulls.

Here's your pep talk to take a winter stroll along the Cuyahoga River. There are a surprising amount of sights to enjoy! Who knows, you might even see a freighter Gullnado or a Snowy Owl! And yes, we fully recognize our taste in beauty lends itself towards Cleveland's unique blend of industrial grit and nature along its waterfront.
