Waterplace Park

Here is a colorful view of night setting on Providence. In the foreground is the Woonasquatucket River and it flows into the basin at Waterplace Park; the home of Waterfire.

I left work the other night and I on the way to the car, I came across this beautiful sunset at Waterplace Park. All frozen over now.

Waterplace Park is an urban park situated along the Woonasquatucket River in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. Finished in 1994, Waterplace Park is connected to 3/4 mile of cobblestone-paved pedestrian walkways along the waterfront known as Riverwalk. Venice-styled Pedestrian bridges cross the river. Most of Riverwalk is below street level and automotive traffic. Waterplace Park and Riverwalk together are host to Providence's popular summertime Waterfire events, a series of bonfires lit on the river accompanied by Classical and World music.

It's a cold, cold wintery day but the sky seemed ablaze with light. I found the contrast of colours - from very cool to very warm - to be fantastic and i wanted to capture the moment.

Glad I did; it was all over no sooner than when I finished taking photos. Right place, right time.

It's a Friday night, leaving the office on way to my car, I came across this view of downtown Providence.

I really like the drama in the sky, dark ominous, foreboding. And it stands in such stark contrast to the bright, well lit buildings.
