Cincinnati: Spring #1

I call this thread "Spring #1" because we've had two springs this year.

The first one came at the tail end of March, when above average temperatures brought on rapid growth. This is the period during which I took these photos.

Then came a resurgence of winter, with several hard freezes and about a week in row of nighttime temps getting down near or below 32. Some new growth died. People who planted too early lost their plants.

There has been a pretty decent recovery, though. The trees are fully green. However, now the grass is getting brown due to lack of rain. There's a good chance that this could be the driest May since they started recording such things in the late 19th century.

But enough of this talk. This isn't a weather forum.

These photos are mainly from Mount Airy Forest, Klotter-Conroy in the Fairview neighborhood (or OTR, depending on whom you talk to), and Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park. There are a few random building pics thrown in as well, quite a few of which are from Florence. Please keep in mind that the stuff under construction has progressed since the photos were snapped two months ago.

Enjoy.


Mount Airy Forest




















Bellevue

Water's Edge



Florence

This pretty much sums it up.


CVG.




The most contemporary downtown in America.


Champion Window Field, home of the Frontier League's Florence Freedom.









Covington Arts District

To justify this being a City Photos thread....


Pulse Loft Condos



Fairview









460 Conroy, demolished to (likely) be filled with homes similar to the one in the prior pic.










Garbage. This is not okay.




McMicken Ave.





Mount Auburn

Rehabbing. Looks like a parking pad.



Krohn Conservatory


























Covington

It does surprisingly well for a cheap point-and-shoot.

It struggles with shots from far away, like skyline shots. The conditions have to be pretty much perfect or the shots turn out terrible.

Thanks everyone!
