Old Power Station, A City Location, Eugene, Oregon

|
|

A closer view of the Old Power Plant revealed more broken windows. The sign embedded in the concrete in front of the Old Power Plant formed a circle and was covered in more illegible words. The power that the Old Power Plant formerly generated was still connected to the grid. The side of the Old Power Plant as it looked just before it was to be remodeled. Many transformers remained behind a concrete fence. The Old Power Plant building was protected by a chain-link fence topped with razor wire. Old pipes ran from the Old Power Plant into the Willamette River. Those pipes accessed water to make steam. The river-facing side of the Old Power Plant was covered with broken windows.

Two kinds of seating were provided. A group of two blue tables with matching chairs created a pleasant spot to picnic. Beyond the tables and chairs was a self-shading set of three benches. A modest restroom was provided for the crowds that would someday occupy this Downtown Riverfront Park. A closer view of one of the three self shaded benches that faced the river. A regular bench was mounted on the bicycle path. That bench had its back to a large field of dirt behind a portable fence.

Downtown Riverfront Park Art, A New Park, Eugene, Oregon
|
|
|
|
Photographs of people were printed on the slats that made up one of the borders at the edge of the new Downtown Riverfront Park in Eugene, Oregon. The most striking part of this image was the sparkling design on the glasses. Young and old versions of the same face were combined before printing on the border fence. A somber face stared out at the people viewing it. A closer view of the half face at the extreme right-hand edge of the display. If you look carefully, you can see the individual slats that made up the face. One of the faces on the border fence had faded to the point that it was almost ghost-like.

The first leaves of our brown heuchera plant were just beginning to grow in our back yard. Our backyard brown Heuchera plant grew three tall, but thin, stalks upon which tiny white flowers bloomed. Another view of our reddish-brown heuchera plant. This view illustrated how its leaves overlap. A closer view of the reddish-brown leaves of our heuchera plant.
