I was the only one to have a holiday today on Martin Luther King, Jr Day. I took the RTA Rapid train to the waterfront, and surprise, no fare was collected!
I have been unable to photograph one of my favorite Inter|Urban murals along the train tracks, and had to grab one from the website.
I followed the crowds towards the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
 |
Noted the Arch C Klumph Memorial (1992); he,
among many other achievements, founded the Rotary
Club of Cleveland, was president of Rotary International,
and conceived the idea of the Rotary Foundation for
"the purpose of doing good in the world" |
 |
The Long Live Rock art installation (2016)
at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (1993, designed by I M Pei) |
 |
The Splice Cream Truck travels throughout the neighnorhood of
Collinwood selling ice cream and recording personal stories of the people,
a project about Collinwood History by Ben Smith |
I was here for the IceFest, sponsored by the district of North Coast Harbor, located between downtown and Lake Erie.

Each supporting sponsor has a custom ice sculpture,
like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame |
 |
A fish representing FishCLE for Free,
which provides limited fishing gear on the
state-wide weekend of free fishing each year in May |

Looking through the back of the MLK, Jr ice sculpture;
plastic inserts are used for emphasis and color |

 |
| The NFL Cleveland Browns |
 |
Sculpture representing Namasté, a summer
event where yoga classes are held Tuesday
evenings in Voinovich Bicentennial Park |
 |
The NBA Cleveland Cavaliers with an ice sculpture of
the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy |
There were at least 23 ice sculptures on view.
 |
A couple more ice sculptures being made on the premises,
this one looks like Olaf, the snowman from
the Disney movie, Frozen |
 |
| Looking back at the Great Lakes Science Center |
 |
| Climbing apparatus, I guess! |
 |
| The Sound Bench encourages interaction |
 |
Voinovich Bicentennial Park with a memorial (1996) to the former
Cleveland mayor and Ohio Governor George V Voinovich,
who was instrumental in Cleveland's "Renaissance" in the 1980s |
 |

 |
| I need to work on taking selfies! |

A typically gray day, but at least it was above freezing in temperature! Fine for an IceFest!
