Photographer's Note
Downtown Providence
Here’s a last photo from our short visit to Providence, the capital of Rhode Island. The photo was taken in Waterplace Park, an urban park situated along Woonasquatucket River. It offers this view on the buildings around Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence. From left to right, the three tallest buildings are:
- One Financial Plaza (126 metres, completed in 1973)
- 50 Kennedy Plaza (87 metres, completed in 1985)
- Industrial National Bank Building (130 metres, completed in 1928, it’s the tallest tower in the city and in the state)

Hello Lars,
Another fine ensemble of architecture from Providence, Rhode Island. I like the point of view looking across the lake. Lights and colours are very pleasant to view and clarity impeccable.

Hello Lars,
I like this place and I like your photograph. There is a pleasing mix of old and new, of tall and not-so-tall and of different shapes. The skyscrapers are not overpowering or overbearing and make an interesting backdrop to the water and the bridges.
As always, the clarity is impeccable.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Bonjour, cher Lars,
Une grande ville qui a gardé des proportions raisonnables quant à l'architecture générale.
La présentation est particulièrement judicieuse pour valoriser un ensemble fort agréable.
Très bonne journée.
Amitiés.

Hello Lars,
The fg with its canals and bridges looks like Amsterdam but the bg with its high rise buildings looks distinctly American. Good color, sharpness and framing. Looks like a light show in the evening illuminates a lot of stuff judging from the buoys with lamps / light switches. Tfs!

Hi Lars,
The distance between the two bridges is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings. The light is bringing out the colours. Have a nice day.

nice view of the skyscrapers, each one in a style. the repetitive big houses in bricks and the river are nice details too. the name of the river looks difficult to speak.
take care

Hej Lars,
En väldigt snygg bild av ganska vackra byggnader av oliks stilar och storlekar. I förgrunden fina diagonaler runt vattnet och en elegant inramning av träd. Mycket bra färger och ljus.
Trevlig helg,

Hello Lars,
We have blinked through Rhode Island a few times, but have never stopped at Providence. It looks like a pleasant town, maybe we should stop next time.

Hello Lars,
Wonderfully taken the picture from above the river crossing downtown Providence.
Older architecture's design of the lower building from red stones, contrast the modern glassed windows prominently above.
Allocated well the picture space.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Hi Lars,
It is surprising to see such a classic high rise building from 1928 from this city. Despite those buildings this has cosy provincial feeling. I always like to be near the water so the foreground looks very nice to me.

Hallo Lars,
Rivieren of kanalen in een stad zorgen steeds voor extra charme. Een ligging aan zee maakt het ook vaak mooier.
Hier maak je excellent gebruik van het water en de brug om een aantrekkelijke voorgrond te geven aan het beeld van de hoogbouw.
De compositie is heel goed en het beeld heel evenwichtig.
Mooie presentatie van een toch veel minder gekende hoofdstad.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi Lars
its too bad we don't see more photos of this city on TE, looks so photogenic, especially from here. The building on the right reminds me so much of the Russian built tower in Warsaw. awesome views, awesome lighting and sharpness. perfect. cheers

Hi Lars,
beautiful panoramic view from this less popular spot of the US.
Attractive high rise buildings captured with a wonderful foreground.
There are several bridges, a water aspect, also some red buildings...
Colors are fantastic and the sky is also so nicely decorated with the lovely clouds.
Very well composed at great weather.
Excellent work!!

Dag Lars,
Even deze "vergeten" foto beoordelen.
Hoewel ik niet ben vergeten hoe we hier liepen en uiteindelijk bij een Hamburger tent uitkwamen. Maar de hamburgers waren zeker net zo goed als deze foto.
groet Rob
