Detour through Waltham

[urbpan]

On my way home last Friday, I decided to follow the Charles River instead of going by main roads. The city of Waltham has done a nice job with their part of the Charles River Reservation. It's not a fast way to get home, but it's very beautiful. Areas that were once industrial mills and factories have been turned into a pleasant walkway.







There were four black-crowned night-herons fishing on the Moody Street dam.







Nice to see a community put some money into an attractive footbridge. (A suspension bridge, of all things, named the "Blue Heron Bridge.")



By the time I was in Brighton, the sun was setting.
