Canal Sagamore Bridge to Scusset

I finally got around to walking the section of Canal between the Sagamore Bridge and Scusset Beach.  It's about 2.5 miles one way, 5 round trip.  

I took this from a small pier that was over the water where people were fishing.

Fantastic iridescent clouds

Cool clouds in general!

 Just about across from the Sandwich Marina.

 Considering this is a no wake zone, you still see plenty of wakes.

The power plant, a blight on the landscape since the mid 60s.  All these years I thought it was a hydroelectric plant but it runs on oil.

 I see this barge a lot too but I forgot to get the name.  It's Steven something.

The Sagamore Bridge is supposed to be painted soon.  They've been prepping it for almost 2 years and they stop in summer because of the traffic.  It's a 4 lane bridge but they put it to 2 lanes for work and traffic backs up for miles and miles.
