The Scenic View



Taken yesterday from the Chagrin River bridge in Gates Mills, looking north.

If you didn't know you were in Cleveland, and didn't know that it was laid out by folks from Connecticut, you might think you'd landed in New England. Towns have picturesque downtowns, gazebos, and traffic circles, aka "roundabouts." Many communities, like Gates Mills, look like Vermont villages. But aside from the layout scheme, nature itself gives this part of Ohio a New England-y look. Lots of hills, rivers, and trees. When the Chagrin River at Gates Mills is high, fishermen in waders stand in the river waiting for paydirt when the fish tumble over the falls.
