You Don't Alway Get What You Want, But Sometimes You Get...

For this photo essay, I chose the Rolling Stones' classic, "You Don't Always Get What You Want."
You know the drill, start the video, then scroll down and hopefully enjoy the pics.
If you do, check out the entire photo blog, and relax.



I chose the song not because of some girl, or some moment in time, but because I ran
Downtown to get a photo of Cleveland I have been chasing for some time now. As I drove
down Detroit Avenue in Lakewood's DowntowN I noticed some great clouds, and I had
about an hour to kill, not really, but headed off to the spot

By the time I got to where I had always envisioned the picture being taken, I realized it would
never work, and I really needed to be on the top of the lift the bridge.

Image
The Ernst and Young Building kills the shot. By the time I climb the fence, and sneak up
the lift bridge to the top, the sun will be gone. DAMN!

Image
With nothing here, I was thinking "sunset on Nicholson!" but there was not enough time.
In less than 30 minutes the sun would be down, and the drive would be in vain.

So with Edgewater packed with concert goers I walk down to the pier, and see if there is
anything worth looking at.

The sunset has possibilities...

You don't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need!

Bravo, Jim!

(besides the people, what I miss most about Lakewood are those sunsets!)
