“Make Way for Ducklings” statues in Boston’s Public Garden
One morning while we were in Boston I went for an early morning walk while everyone else was sleeping. I came upon these duck statues in the Public Garden and recalled seeing the book, “Make Way for Ducklings,” in our room. After returning to the room I read the book for the first time in many years and found many of the items mentioned in the book to have been things I saw on my morning walk.
I’m in Eugene, Oregon today so today’s photo comes from a prior trip to Eugene. This is the arena on the campus of the University of Oregon used for basketball, volleyball, etc.
If you’ve had trouble accessing the blog during the past 48 hours I apologize. Godaddy was having problems which I hope have been resolved so that the site is no longer slow.

Statue of Absalon – Copenhagen, Denmark
The tower in the distance to the right is from the Nikolaj Church, now an art museum and restaurant. The spire on the tower was donated by the founder of Carlsberg Brewery, Carl Jacobsen, in 1909. The “new” spire is identical to the original one, which was destroyed by fire, from the Renaissance period.

No sign of King Kong on this evening, but the view was still one to marvel at.
