The Electric Riverboat Angela Louise
The Electric Riverboat Angela Louise at Balboa Fun Zone, Newport Beach, California
Writer's block doesn't just happen to writers. I have been to Balboa Island and the Peninsula a number of times in the past year or so with the intention of adding some images to my collection. Each time I couldn't get myself to take any pictures so I ended up going to other places to take photos afterward. Then something clicked last week. The price of gas. It's too expensive these days to squander trips without taking publishable pictures.
Balboa is a nice place to take a date and have some fun, but the beaches really aren't that photogenic here unless you like taking people pictures. They are just long stretches of flat beach without any unique geological features and few unique attractions. The opposite side of Main Street faces Newport Harbor though and has the Balboa Fun Zone. This is where the tourist attractions are located. The most recognizable landmark here is the Balboa Pavilion. What caught my eye though was the electric riverboat.

The Fun Zone - that brings back memories!

Thanks Ron. That does make sense, since you went to UCI and I'm guessing probably took Janine there for your first date. :-)
Reminds me of the river boats on the Ohio River Richard, nice image !!
Thanks Bernie. Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I know there are a few in Cincinnati and the Belle of Louisville obviously. The light was never right the times I walked by the Belle so I didn't get good shots of the whole boat
Hi Richard,
Yep, that is the first place we went - rode our bikes down there.
Ron
oh wow, that was just a random guess.
believe it or not, I realized a few days later that forgot to a shoot a picture of the Balboa Pier even though I had walked on it!
