Farthest east with streetcar tracks leading into the black abyss of the subway tunnel '...just off Public Square.' The bricked floor may indicate that this was a streetcar stop.

View to north with a portion of the Cuyahoga River. This may be Moses Cleaveland's cabin. Correct spelling of his last name. Not the original cabin. Enlarged and used as a tourist office? Haven't looked closely at it in years. Too busy dodging bridges, boats, cars, trains, people, dogs, traffic lights, stop signs, chuck holes, and broken glass in a cramped, congested and sometimes chaotic area.

Shot to west. This is from a single NEF/RAW image, tweaked slightly in Nikon RAW and saved as a 16-bit TIF. Saved the tweaked, original NEF file as six additional TIF images with exposures of -3, -2, -1, +1, +2, and +3. Used the Exposure Blending feature of Photomatix Pro 3.1.3 to blend all seven images into a single image, with further tweaking in Photoshop CS2. The sky details are blown out, but the bridge details came out much better than with just CS2 tweaks. Photo shows the night, architectural, 'mood lighting' installation, overhead.

Black side edges are from placing the end of the lens on top of and over the narrow grate opening.
