August is messy. Why do all the walnuts drop from all the walnut trees at the same time?

I was out on a ride just beyond the Illinois river and happened upon a large stainless steel sculpture.
Here's a shot of my bike leaned against it.....
Neat bit of art. Rather abstract but graceful.
It does require the viewer to back up a bit to really get a good look at the whole thing, though.

"rode a bike, got a ticket"

(I always wanted to climb the stairs in the legs of the arch, though. It would be fascinating, although that might wear off before I climbed the whole 630 feet)

Underfoot, hungry... they're always hungry.
Cheating, I knew what I would find. Rode my bike (rather than taking my truck) to a client's house, to clean the filters. Built it about 10 years ago.

The standard(?) documentary on the construction of the arch is this:
Definitely something to see if you are in the area. If you also have a bike, there are a variety of opportunities to ride too.

While out riding yesterday I saw a couple dozen items of clothing strewn along the side of the road concluding with this.
