On the banks of the Ohio River

in Cincinnati: my hometown

This bridge across the Ohio River is the John A. Roebling Suspension bridge. And yes, it does look a lot like the Brooklyn Bridge. That’s because Roebling designed it too. But the one linking Cincinnati to Covington, Kentucky was completed first in 1866. Cool huh?

And the fountains above are new. They’re at the just opened but not quite complete park along the Ohio River called The Banks. But the best part about them is that they are designed to be run through on a hot summer day. Fun stuff.
