Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, January 10, 1922

Walk after lunch down Niagara to Georgia, down Georgia to Canal.

The sights of Spring – peanuts in a sunlit window – bright colored tin signs & the cold blue reflection in windows facing north; children shouting - 

The canal territory – dry dusty frozen plots – two goats wandering around – the oily yellow canal with pieces of ice – piles of timber – The tall buildings of downtown in the distance pale blue phantoms

There were gulls flying over the canal –
