I grew up in neighboring towns, but as a child Riverside was the place I wanted to live when I grew up and became rich (still waiting). I frequently rode my bicycle down its winding streets and got lost more than a few times (but since it's a relatively small town--population of less than 9,000--I quickly found my way back to the main street, Longcommon). It's a pretty place for a stroll or a ride.
The other day I visited a restaurant there and afterwards went for a walk. The village had just had an art fair and as part of the fair they had asked local knitters to take part in a project to wrap the light poles in the downtown area in art. Here are a few examples, taken during my stroll (there were many more).
I also happened across this sheltered building by the train station. How awesome that they've repurposed it as a bicycle shelter (at least I assume that it is repurposed. I can't imagine that it was built for this function).
Have a wonderful day!

These are fun. I have seen it, on the Internet, done with trees.
Mary, I've seen photos online but never in person. I hadn't heard about the art fair, so stumbling upon these was a total (and fun) surprise. I'd love to see some of those trees, though.
