Menomonee River, early morning January

I had an appointment that took me along the Menomonee River Parkway early this morning, and as the sight of morning winter sunlight on the snow beside the river is one rarely glimpsed in the normal course of my daily and weekly routine, I made a quick stop to take a few photos.

Below is a footbridge across the river that was built in the 1930s by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), one of the Great Depression era’s “alphabet soup” New Deal public work relief programs.
