Dunservick Harbour. I love coastal rides.

Birthplace of Joe Walsh I believe? Kansas is a place I’d like to visit, though most likely never will, and it looks to have some great places to cycle too.
One stop would be Arrowhead Stadium, on game day…..
I see you have an image of a statue p,mis this in recognition of the native tribes people?
How much are these celebrated, or are there problems with this side of history?

The Keeper of the Plains is celebrated and will usually draw a big crowd at night when the drums are lit. We tried bicycling down there one night to watch and get some pictures, but it was a weekend night and there were a lot of people, too many people to get a good picture. Some info:

Keeper of the Plains stands at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas rivers with hands raised in supplication to the Great Spirit. Since the sculpture's installation in 1974 to commemorate the United States Bicentennial, it has become a symbol for the city of Wichita and a tribute to the Native American tribes who continue to gather at this sacred site. The 44-foot Cor-Ten steel Keeper of the Plains sculpture now stands elevated on a 30-foot rock promontory, surrounded by a plaza which describes the Plains Indian way of life. Fire drums on boulders at the foot of the Keeper dramatically light the night. Plantings of sage, bottlebrush, medicinal herbs, prairie grasses, yuccas and cactus add to the sense of place and time.

Renowed Native American artist Blackbear Bosin donated the Keeper of the Plains to the citizens of Wichita in 1974.

Took a quick picture tonight on a ride on the east side of the city.

I was pretty happy with the picture, but my daughter did me one better. She was a swimmer, not a cyclist. She took her picture tonight (below) of the same sunset along the K96 Redbud bike path in north Wichita. Hope everyone is well.

Someone dropped in for lunch today while I was eating mine on the balcony...

A quick stop for this image, which I noted on the way out on our 15mile shakedown ride for Mrs SnG to get back to cycling, as we have some time away from work, and she has dropped out of the habit this year…. Tomorrow, maybe, a 30 mile+ ride to show her what a Beryl Burton is, from one of the Cadence places along the South Downs Way.
There maybe a ride report tomorrow evening, if I’m lucky! 😀😃

Glengorm Castle with Ardnamurchan and the mountains of Rum.

The weather's been foul here today, so no fancy bike rides (just down to the market first thing), but counting myself lucky that I can go for an evening walk and get this view twenty minutes' walk from my front door;

All this rain has made waterfalls more impressive.

Pic taken by my mother and not in UK. Almost domesticated stork - you normally don't see them so close.

Well, yesterday to be pedantic.

I was tending to my lawn this evening, and decided that the view's not bad...

Fun bridge I frequently cross on many rides.

The water level on the north side (right side) is higher than the left. As the water level rises, it spills over and down the grate running down the length of the crossing.
