Park land marks Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here's a view of 2 Spokane landmarks in riverfront park. The U.S. Pavilion and the Clock Tower looking North from the Looff Carousel this place gets busy during the spring and summer.

From: wikipedia.org

Riverfront Park, created after Expo '74 and occupying the same site, is 100 acres (0.40 km2) in downtown Spokane and the site of some of Spokane's largest events. The park has views of the Spokane Falls, and holds a number of civic attractions, including a Skyride that is a rebuilt gondola that carries visitors across the falls from high above the river gorge, a 5-story IMAX theater, and a small amusement park (which is converted into an ice-skating rink during the winter months) with numerous rides and concessions. The park is host to a full schedule of family entertainment and events such as the Bloomsday Post-Race Celebration, Hoopfest, the IMAX Film Festival, Spokane Music Festival, Pig Out in the Park, Restaurant Fair, Pow Wow, First Night Spokane, and outdoor concerts and other community activities. The park also includes the hand-carved Riverfront Park Looff carousel created in 1909 by Charles I. D. Looff as a wedding present for his daughter. The carousel still operates in Riverfront Park, where riders can participate in an old-time ring toss. The carousel continues to offer a free ride to the rider who grabs the brass ring. Riverfront Park also includes ample views of the Spokane falls as well as other water features of the Spokane River.

Hello Jason,
a good framing, a great balance in the composition and especially a very ggod managment of light which give warm colours, beautiful contrasts and nice reflections in the water.
Have a good WE,
Roger

Splendid combination with the church to the right and the attraction to the left in background, very fine colours.

Good composition and presentation. TFS.

Hello Jason,
You're going to have to get out of the city more often. I think you've just about exhausted every photo opportunity this park has to offer. Good looking shot here, the POV and composition are both first class, I like the way you've gone for the panorama frame, it shows the area to full advantage. Lovely sharp image with excellent colour rendition.
I see you've still got a tiny amount of snow still on the ground, not long until the greens start to pop now.
Have a good Easter my friend.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Jason,
What a splendid spring time landscape with wonderfully clear crisp colors and razor sharpness.
The yellow of the blossoming willows wonderfully compliment the vivid blue sky.
The grand tower with its orange roof also blends perfectly with the blue sky wispy cloud backdrop.
I'm very impressed with the beauty of Spokane's parks and waterways.
Regards, Tom
