these photos are not digitally fooled with--it IS that pretty!
This is the
GREENWAY along the
Red River in Grand Forks, ND; the other side of the river is East Grand Forks, MN. I took this picture standing on the Bridge. The grassy knoll and paths go for miles up and down the river--Jason Jogs these paths many mornings. It is about 1 block from our apartment. Click on it to see it bigger--
Next to our apartment and right behind us--where buildings used to be before the 1997 FLOOD are beautiful tiny parks with sculptures made from debris of the old buildings and winding brick paths that represent the Red River. See the fishies? and the Bronze "Tree Gazebo"? If you click it bigger and look behind the gazebo you'll see a finger pointing up--that is kind of neat.
Another Park--the one I can see from the Kitchen.
This Park behind and across the alley from us I can see from the kitchen window every morning as I read and drink my coffee.
This I took thru the kitchen window with an old screen.the view is to the side--from where I sit-
From where HE sits, Jason gets to look at bricks! the light post in the center is the same light post to the far left in the picture right above this one.
You talented photographers--I think of you--as we have several Photo studios downtown and nearly every day some one is in the parks or alleys taking pictures--weathered brick walls and thick foliage make interesting backdrops. I watch them out my window--I think they are doing senior portraits and engagement pictures --I'll try to sneak a picture if I see them again.
Recently this BAR put tables out in the back alley and a really tacky fence--and that sort of ruined the view of their spiral fire escape. But when I first saw it in its rustic neatness--I thought of the Howard sisters, Annie H. or Anna H. and how they would somehow pose and take pictures here.
above--the outside of the Evergreen Emporium where we had lunch--I think Linnea may have posted an interior picture--but here is one:
Jason and his pal:-)
