Washington Park, Quincy, Illinois - a photo on Flickriver

            This was Monday morning, the day after leaving St Louis. 

The previous afternoon was beautiful warm weather, I followed the Mississippi River and had went up the bluff to look at Principia College, designed by Bernard Maybeck. 

For the first time in my trip I was starting to feel the nature of this part of the world. I also stopped by the Illinois River and watched the flow of the water. No attempt at sketching. Maybe strangely when I am somewhere new, just being there, looking quietly is enough.

So really then, this sketch is like all the others, familiar (automatic?) urban sketching. The weather was changing, it was becoming cold.

There was absolutely no one about and I sat there, a squirrel bouncing from tree to tree.
